Re: ODRL Profile for Linked Data

Hi Victor, welcome to the group...

> 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?

Obviously, we would be more than happy to see ODRL being used to describe LOD datasets.

Given that ODRL (both the XML and RDF/OWL representations) can express CC semantics, then you could use ODRL for this purpose - as your Blog indicates CC being used by some LOD datasets (although it is arguable that a dataset could be classified as a "literary and/or artistic work" - but that is for the lawyers ;-)

Also, in the ODRL XML Encoding [1], we looked at the Open Data Commons as an example, and given some specific ODC terms, we could also use ODRL for this purpose.

In general though, we have not done the specific analysis for LOD Datasets.
This would be a good activity for us to do and to then propose an "ODRL Profile for LOD Datasets".

Would you be interested in leading this work?


Cheers...
