[Odrl-version2] New ODRL v2.0 Model

Hi Alapan, all!

Great, so I assume there are no major objectitons to the new model layout. 
I will then describe a new draft of the ODRL v2 model and put it on the ODRL
web site. A new round of "request for comments" will start from there.

Alapan, this is an important issue and comes up again and again. I myself
tried to gather mandatory legal and business relevant attributes of
contracts, without much success. lawyers kept on telling me, that there are
no mandatory attributes or standard sets of attributes for contracts.
Furthermore there are different attributes in different contract types
(agreement for sale, marriage agreement, etc.) 

But maybe you have more luck than I do. Please share your new knowledge with
us and maybe we can make a statement on the ODRL website on it.

So long
Susanne
