Hi, At the UK Open Data Institute we've been working on some guidance and a new vocabulary to help support the publication of machine-readable rights statements for open data. The vocabulary builds on existing work in this area (e.g. Dublin Core and Creative Commons) but addresses a few issues that we felt were underspecified. The vocabulary is intended to work in a wide variety of contexts, from simple JSON documents and data packaging formats through to Linked Data and Web APIs. The work is now at a stage where we're keen to get wider feedback from the community. You can read a background on the work in this introductory blog post on the UK ODI blog: http://theodi.org/blog/machine-readable-rights-statements The draft schema can be found here: http://schema.theodi.org/odrs/ And there are publisher and re-user guides to accompany it: https://github.com/theodi/open-data-licensing/blob/master/guides/publisher-guide.md https://github.com/theodi/open-data-licensing/blob/master/guides/reusers-guide.md We would love to hear your feedback on the work. If you do have issues or comments, then can I ask that you submit them as an issue to our github project: https://github.com/theodi/open-data-licensing/issues Thanks, L. -- Leigh Dodds Freelance Technologist Open Data, Linked Data Geek t: @ldodds w: ldodds.com e: leigh@ldodds.com
