Paper analysing ODRL 2.0

Dear all, 

we would like to share the research paper on ODRL 2.0 [1] mentioned in our
last mail with the community. The paper presents the results of an in-depth
analysis of some drawbacks concerning the syntax and semantics of ODRL 2.0
and outlines possible solutions. These include proposals to simplify the
Core Model of ODRL to be better understood by new users as well as to
prepare ODRL for the usage with encodings other than XML, e.g., ontologies.
We will present our results at the Virtual Goods & ODRL 2013 conference [2]
in September. Based on our paper and further research we will develop an
alternative concept for ODRL. This concept will be modelled as an ontology
in the following months. Still we will take part in the discussion of the
current draft ontology for ODRL 2.0. 

Regards,
