Dear all, Just a quick word on, ironically enough, patent policy, copyright and all that which, I am very well aware, everyone on this list knows a lot more about that I do. Please note that the WG (like all W3C WGs) operates under the W3C Patent Policy [1] and the copyright in the documents we create will be held by MIT, ERCIM, Keio and Beihang. Those legal entities will make the documents available Royalty Free in perpetuity. Therefore... please be careful when submitting info and content. I'm prompted to highlight this as I followed the link to META-SHARE and noted that its website is published under the CC-BY-NC-SA licence. I assume that's meant to cover the data served by the META SHARE service but that's not what it says. Please don't contribute content that is, or may be, encumbered by licences that are incompatible with the W3C licence framework. @Victor, please can you confirm (on this public list) that the use case you submitted is not restricted by META-SHARE's CC licence. Thanks Phil [1] http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/ -- Phil Archer W3C Data Activity Lead http://www.w3.org/2013/data/ http://philarcher.org +44 (0)7887 767755 @philarcher1
