Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL)

Let me start with a few words about Digital Rights Management (DRM). As usual, it was mentioned in other talks in the negative, which is fair because DRM does have some negative aspects about it. But I want to give you a different view from the DRM world. Then I will look at the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) Initiative. I will then look at the Creative Commons’ semantics in more detail, how we mapped them to ODRL and some of the issues that we found when we were doing the mapping exercises that we feel are quite significant and should be raised. Finally, briefly, I will look at the potential to do a similar thing for the AEShareNet licences.
