Re: Are there any concerns about using ODRL to model Consent?

Ah! Thank you Axel.
So the assumption I make from this is that it is possible to use ODRL, 
but simpler methods may exist (such as the OWL model). That being said, 
the work ahead would then be comparing these, and finding their 
strengths and complexities in terms of modeling consent.

This cleared up a lot of things in my mind regarding your (SPECIAL) 
choice of using OWL as well. Mainly being that it is specific to the 
use-case and works quite well if the purposes (w.r.t consent) are known 
ahead of time.

Regards,

Harsh
