Re: Educational purpose

Hi,

Illustrating Khalid's comment, I would like to give the two definitions 
for the educational *purpose* and the educational *user's nature*, found 
in the early draft of the "Rights Information for Language Resources" 
http://purl.org/NET/ms-rights. <http://purl.org/NET/ms-rights>There, 
ms-rights:education was defined as: "/...the resource can only be used 
for educational purposes/"  (a purpose a bit circular) and the 
ms-rights:academicUser was defined as a user's nature: "/... //users 
affiliated with an academic institution/"...

The user nature is an attribute that can be given to a user (e.g. 
odrl:licensee): /Identifies the type of user of the resource (e.g. 
affiliated with a commercial vs. academic institution, member of an 
organisation/network etc.); the user type may have implications on the 
licensing or pricing of a resource/.


Regards,
Víctor
