hi, this reminds me of powder [1]. couldn't the "parental advisory", "mobile ready",... use cases be extended to include rights statements? a resource would expose a link header to a powder-rights.xml which for example describes the rights of whole set of uris. i know that powder is not super easy readable and kind of xml-ish but in general the idea is very good. wkr j [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/powder-primer/ On Mon, 2013-08-12 at 17:14 +0100, Leigh Dodds wrote: > Hi, > > There's one aspect of my document on publishing machine-readable > rights statements that I want to flag to this community. > > Specifically its the section on including references to licence and > rights statements from LINK headers in HTTP responses: > > https://github.com/theodi/open-data-licensing/blob/master/guides/publisher-guide.md#linking-to-rights-statements-from-web-apis > > While that information can also be published in RDF, as part of the > Linked Data response, I think adding LINK headers is very important > too, for several reasons: > > Linked Data applications and browsers will commonly encounter new > resources and the licensing information should be immediately clear. > Having this be accessible outside of the response will allow user > agents to be able to clearly detect licences before they start > retrieving data from a new source.
