RE: odrl-ISSUE-18: Single URI Namespace (Raising as an Issue)

ODRL v2 has a core model http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/two/model/ and a common vocabulary http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/two/vocab/. As I understand it, having a single namespace in the ODRL Ontology unifies these two. So, where does that leave the idea of ODRL Profiles? http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/two/vocab/#section-3 That section specifically talks about "Declare your communities namespace" as being one of the things that you should do in creating a profile.

Namespaces generally support the concept of decentralized evolution. I don't think that a single namespace for both the data model and the common vocabulary prevents other namespaces from being used (such as IPTC's RightsML http://dev.iptc.org/RightsML). However, I don't think it exactly encourages it, either. Having one namespace for the model and one namespace for the common vocabulary would still be simple for authors of ODRL instances, I believe, but it would also encourage the use of ODRL profiles for particular use cases.

Regards,

Stuart

odrl-ISSUE-18: Single URI Namespace (Raising as an Issue)

Raised by: Renato Iannella
On product: 

Dear all, now that we have released the draft ODRL Ontology [1] using a single namespace URI (http://www.w3.org/ns/odrl/2/) we need to decide on its adoption (or not) and update any existing draft documents.

The current draft ontology has used SKOS to define "groups" of concepts, like actions [2], so that human-readability is improved, and is not seen as one "flat-list" of terms.

Please express any views on this proposal to adopt the single URI namespace for all ODRL V2.0 encodings.
