Publishing Grey Literature in On-Line Repositories (Copyright Law Perspective)
Šavelka, Jaromír ; Koščík, Michal
The aim of the paper is to provide easy-to-follow guidelines to determine if a document can be published in an on-line repository. It is suggested that the process of evaluation can be formalized to such a degree that the process would be carried out by a non-lawyer. There is a group of rather trivial properties that should decide to which regime the work should be assigned. The presentation outlines the basic principles of the evaluative process which is represented by a tree-like structured set of simple questions. Thus, the presentation generally assesses which properties should a work have in order to be eligible for being made available by a means of an online repository.

Protection of The Information in The Organization
Hlaváček, Jan ; Molnár, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Drtil, Jan (referee)
Protection of information and knowledge in organization in the context of the tumultuous development of information technology has become one of the most important areas where attention is directed by experts and the general public. It is a very large problem, affecting virtually all areas of the economy, with forays into the private lives of owners, members and employees of the organization. The protection of information and knowledge can be only regarded as data protection, as is generally perceived, but also to protect other assets of the organization, especially intangible assets. For this reason, the theoretical part deals with the legal aspects of privacy issues in the field of labor relations and on issues of definition and protection of intangible assets and intellectual property. The practical part of the survey focused on information security in the Czech Republic. The first part compares the state of the most common security incidents and threats in the Slovak Republic in 2008 and in the Czech Repubic in 2009, formulates recommendations and ways to prevent against the occurrence of security incidents. The second part compares the practical part of the state of information security in the CR between 2007 and 2009 under the headings of the respondents carried out the survey. The conclusion of this section summarizes the status of the security situation in those years and points to new aspects. The third part of the practical part is based on direct involvement in the preparation and implementation of the project PSIB for the period 2010 and 2011. It describes the status, methods of procedure and method of implementation in concrete terms PSIB by DSM. It points to some problems in the practical implementation of research and suggests possible approaches to their solution. The conclusion includes suggestions and recommendations for the realization of the information in the surveyed areas, as well as changes and measures aimed at effective implementation of that survey.
