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: http://theodi.org/blog/exploring-compatibility-between-data-licences If anyone has any comments then please let me know. Cheers, L.
