Revise usage of Licenses and Rights #113
Comments
FYI: Data providers may have their own licenses or use constraints. We have added use constraints to the ConditionsApplyingToAccessAndUse.rdf from the INSPIRE registry. They all include URIs. For example EMODNET license http://tupa.gtk.fi/paikkatieto/lisenssi/emodnet_licence.pdf In cases where "No conditions to access and use" http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/metadata-codelist/ConditionsApplyingToAccessAndUse/noConditionsApply remapping required for HVD isn't possible. Using this code value is ok INSPIRE but not for the Open Data Directive as I see it. |
Resolution approved during webinar. |

Problem statement
GeoDCAT-AP 2.0.0 allows users to express a license document as a text. This is not allowed in the context of High-Value Datasets (HVDs), where licences need to be structured and machine readable, i.e. identified by a dereferencable URL, preferrably from the Licence EU NAL or mapped to it.
However, even besides HVDs, license document should be properly structured documents, published somewhere, where they have a URL. Therefore, a representation of a license document using a simple literal does not seem to be sufficient.
In addition, the examples of usage in the current GeoDCAT-AP seem more like Rights statements, than actual Licences:
Moreover, Example 41 uses
dct:accessRights
without the code lists that should be used to represent Access rights. This seems incorrect and again is a more an example ofdct:rights
:Also related to #82
Proposal
dct:rights
