Re: Open Data Rights Statements

Hi,

A quick follow-up to my previous announcement. The schema and user
guides have been updated based on feedback I've received from the
wider community. I've also just published a follow-up piece of work
that I think is also relevant to this community.

This work looks at the implications of various open licences on the
creation of derived datasets. There's a blog post with pointers here:

If anyone has any comments then please let me know.

Cheers,

L.
