TOSL Risk Ontology
Ontology module for representing risks, unfair contractual clauses, and mitigation measures in Terms of Service (ToS) agreements.
An ontology module for representing risks in ToS, focusing on potentially unfair terms and their mitigation, based on TOSL and DPV.
The ontology describes risks linked to potentially unfair terms in ToS. It models these terms as sources of risk and links them to impacts and mitigation measures, supporting their identification, assessment, and inference in ODRL policies.
