> The project
> The project is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) for 4 years.
> The first goal of the research work will be to investigate how it is possible to extend the expressivity of ODRL (Open Digital Rights Language), a language for the specification of policies and licenses, which is formalized in RDF with an abstract model specified by an ontology. Secondly, given that ODRL has only an informal semantics, we plan to study the semantic aspects of the proposed extended normative language.
> The third goal is to design, develop and evaluate a software framework able to exploit automatic reasoning on the semantics of norms for providing fundamental services like monitoring and simulation of norms evolution in time.
