Re: ODRL Profile for Linked Data

Thanks Renato!

I will be glad to explore this!

As a first step, we would like to provide more examples of existing data 
licenses represented in ODRL, not only as XML but also in the RDF form.
Hence, we would derive a simple compatibility test, to automatically 
obtain the license of the aggregation of two datasets differently licensed.
Much as what we have been exploring here [1] for software licenses.
This would also validate the current draft OWL (or reveal missing pieces...)

Does it sound a reasonable beginning?

Regards,

[1] http://licensius.com/software/, then click on "compatibility" in the 
upper link.

Has it been analyzed whether the current vocabulary suffices for describing the scenario of marketable RDF datasets?
