These data are being released freely to the scientific community and can be considered a community resource.
However, the data generators reserve the right to be the first to publish on the bulk data as indicated by the Fort Lauderdale meeting report.

Funding was provided by the Wellcome Trust.
The release of pre-publication data from large resource-generating scientific projects was the subject of a meeting held in January 2003, the "Fort Lauderdale meeting", sponsored by the Wellcome Trust, one of the Project funders.
The report from that meeting can be viewed here .
The recommendations of the Fort Lauderdale meeting address the roles and responsibilities of data producers, data users, and funders of "community resource projects", with the aim of establishing and maintaining an appropriate balance between the interests of data users in rapid access to data and the needs of data producers to receive recognition for their work.
The conclusion of the attendees at the meeting was that responsible use of the data is necessary to ensure that first-rate data producers will continue to participate in such projects and produce and quickly release valuable large-scale data sets.
"Responsible use" was defined as allowing the data producers to have the opportunity to publish the initial global analyses of the data, as articulated at the outset of the project.
Doing so also will ensure that the data generated are fully described.
