Re: Educational purpose

Hi Mo, all

I'm willing to accept whatever the ODRL group decides on this.

If ODRL doesn't do it we would create this "for education" URL, without a formal definition. We're well aware a precise definition is not realistic a goal, and I was not asking ODRL to do it.

What happens is that we're starting from a situation where the 'education' goal is represented in dozens if not hundreds of different ways in our cultural collections: "for education use", "free to use in schools", "pour usage éducatif", etc. All of which are not precisely defined anyway, even in their own 'jurisdiction'. A URI giving a unique handle for the educative goal would already be a huge improvement.

cheers,

Antoine
