Re: Open Data Rights Statements

Dear Leigh,

I am glad to see that in the last few months a critical mass of interest 
for licensing Linked Data is being formed.

Besides a couple of analogous initiatives [1][2], the ODRL Community 
Group [3] is expected to publish an advanced draft during this month of 
July:  the OWL version of their ODRL v2 Core Model. Indeed, this upper 
vocabulary can support the existing licensing terms in common data 
licenses, either open and non-open.

Perhaps all these efforts might be aligned...

Regards,
Víctor
