-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Danny, could you help me in the exact questions and answers that we could put into the document? (I also looke at your response) Q: Aren't there major copyright questions if the data in an integration process are cached? A: There is and there isn't. There is just the way the Web raises this issue already; after all, documents browsed by a traditional browser are usually cashed on the client side. And there isn't, because this does not seem to have created major problems on the Web, and the Semantic Web is not fundamentally different in this respect. However, I am not sure how the issue of the metasearch applies for us at all, nor can I really formulate the question for the Semantic Web. The google terms cited at http://www.calacanis.com/2007/04/05/metasearch-is-illegal-or-is-it/ seems to refer to an automatic querying of the search process of Google, not metadata in general, so it seems to be very specific. I may not get it, though...
