ODRL Profile for Linked Data

Dear all,

In the VirtualGoods/ODRL Workshop of 2011, I advocated for the use of 
semantic technologies for licensing [1], declaring the good position of 
ODRL to do this and its potential if used together with Linked Open Data.

Now that a draft ODRL Ontology has been released, I would like to call 
the attention for the use of ODRL to license Linked Data. Linked Data as 
a marketable asset, possibly licensed with ODRL. Has it been analyzed 
whether the current vocabulary suffices for describing the scenario of 
marketable RDF datasets?

I have just subscribed to the list, and I have had an overview of the 
previous posts, I hope I haven't overlooked a thread discussing this...

To introduce myself: I have been for 6 years with Jaime Delgado, who 
produced together with Roberto Garcia an ontology version of ODRL almost 
10 years before the "official" one now. Actually I mantained its 
description at [2], which you can visit as an archeological record.
Now I am with the OEG at the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, having 
surveyed the licensing status of Linked Open Data datasets [3] and 
wondering how long will it take until we see ODRL triples of your newly 
defined ontology to declare the license of RDF datasets... Wouldn't it 
be worthy even as a simple testing exercise?

Regards,
Víctor Rodríguez-Doncel
