However, efforts to strike a balance between these contradictory objectives by distinguishing between ‘harmless’ data, such as that generated in basic research, and innovative data, such as that yielded by applied research, is not without risk either: such an a priori distinction would mean looking into the future.
La tentative de concilier ces objectifs contradictoires, en distinguant entre d'une part les données «anodines» telles que celles de la recherche fondamentale et d'autre part les données innovantes de la recherche appliquée par exemple, n'est il est vrai pas dénuée de risques.
