Submission request to W3C (W3C Team Comment)
which collectively are referred to as "the submission". We request the submission be known as the ODRL submission.
The Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) provides the semantics for a Digital Rights Management expression language and data dictionary pertaining to all forms of content. The ODRL is a vocabulary for the expression of terms and conditions over content including permissions, constraints, obligations, conditions, offers and agreements with rights holders. The ODRL is positioned to be extended by different industry sectors (eg ebooks, music, video, mobile, learning objects, software, etc) and to be a core interoperability language.
Should any changes be required to the document, we would expect future versions to be produced and maintained by W3C process.
