(a) Core Database Infrastructure
(i) Programming costs attributable to the core database.
(ii) Core database administrator and associated administration costs.
(iii) Core database system maintenance, depreciation and cost of capital.

(iii) MINDA Operations personnel and phone costs attributable to animal record maintenance, reporting, data validation and correction.
(iv) LIC’s National Animal Database operating costs apportioned to the provision of core data for herd recording.
(v) The costs of postage and printing attributable to the first output.(c) Repeat Data Extracts
(i) LIC’s National Animal Database operating costs apportioned to the provision of core data for repeat herd reports.
(ii) The costs of postage and printing attributable to the provision of repeat herd reports.The actual charges for the 2013/2014 seasons are shown in the attached schedule.
The calculation of these charges requires assumptions about volumes of work carried out in each activity. In particular, it depends on the number of times the database is accessed for data for all purposes and on the volumes of records in all output. These assumptions are made in advance of each season and are used for pricing in the forthcoming season.
Core Data for Research & Development and Other Commercial Purposes
LIC provides data for Research & Development (R&D) and other commercial purposes. The core data represents an accumulation of data by the methods and systems developed by LIC over many years. It has a high intellectual property value.
As one component of the overall charge for core data set out in this methodology, LIC charges a royalty which is a percentage of the gross income derived from products and services developed using the intellectual property embodied in the core data. That royalty is charged in accordance with LIC’s licence terms and conditions (set out below) and the core data provided to any Applicant obtaining data for any research and development or other commercial purpose is provided on that basis. As set out in the licence terms and conditions, the royalty is not charged in respect of a use of core data for a purpose which is in direct competition with LIC’s Herd Recording, Herd Testing or Artificial Breeding Services.
