FYI: ODRL Information Model 2.2 and ODRL Vocabulary & Expression 2.2 are now W3C Proposed Recommendations

This is just FYI. Although the POE work is not, strictly speaking, part of Publishing@W3C, the resulting vocabulary may be useful for publishers, too, and may be one of the metadata that we may want to refer to from a publication manifest.

If you are part of a regular (ie, non-TPI) W3C member, you may consider have a brief look and vote for the advancement of the document to Rec (planned for sometimes in February). You can use the online form[1] for that purpose.

Thanks!

Ivan

> Abstract:
> The Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) is a policy expression language that provides a flexible and interoperable information model, vocabulary, and encoding mechanisms for representing statements about the usage of content and services. The ODRL Information Model describes the underlying concepts, entities, and relationships that form the foundational basis for the semantics of the ODRL policies.
> 
> Policies are used to represent permitted and prohibited actions over a certain asset, as well as the obligations required to be meet by stakeholders. In addition, policies may be limited by constraints (e.g., temporal or spatial constraints) and duties (e.g. payments) may be imposed on permissions.
