ODRL Profile for Language Resources
The ODRL Profile for Language Resources provides the vocabulary elements to write policies for language resources. This work has been made in the framework of the H2020 Prêt-à-LLOD project () and it is the result of promoting the 'Language Resources Ontology' into a full ODRL-compliant profile
This ontology is a profile of ODRL and it provides: new odrl:Actions, new odrl:LeftOperands and several new properties intended to describe language resources and intended to be used as conditions in policies.
Distribution
Represents a specific available form of a dataset. Each dataset might be available in different forms, these forms might represent different formats of the dataset or different endpoints. Examples of distributions include a downloadable CSV file, an API or an RSS feed
Availability
Availability status of the resource; conditionsOfUse can be further used to indicate the specific terms of availability
License
The licence of use for the resource; for an overview of licences, please visit: http://www.meta-net.eu/meta-share/licenses.
Conditions of Use
The conditionsOfUse optional element in the metadata is only to be taken as providing brief human readable information on the fact that the LR is provided under a specific set of conditions. These correspond to the most frequently used conditions imposed by the licensor of the LR (via the specified licence). The proper exposition of all conditions and possible exceptions is to be found inside the licence text. LR depositors should, hence, carefully choose the values of this field to match the licence chosen and users should carefully read that licence before using the LR.
User Nature
Identifies the type of user of the resource (e.g. affiliated with a commercial vs. academic institution, member of an organisation/network etc.); the user type may have implications on the licensing or pricing of a resource
Distribution Access Medium
Specifies the medium (channel) used for delivery or providing access to the resource
License Category
A way of classifying licences according to their conditions of use (CLARIN recommendation)
Connects a dataset to one of its available distributions.
Used to link a Language Resource to an Availability status.
IPR Holder
A person or an organization who holds the full Intellectual Property Rights (Copyright, trademark etc) that subsist in the resource. The IPR holder could be different from the creator that may have assigned the rights to the IPR holder (e.g. an author as a creator assigns her rights to the publisher who is the IPR holder) and the distributor that holds a specific licence (i.e. a permission) to distribute the work via a specific distributor.
Availability End Date
Identifies the Availability End Date of the resource.
Availability Start Date
Identifies the Availability Start Date of the resource.
Links a resource to the licence under which it is distributed; values are taken from a list of standard licences
Links the resource (distribution) to the conditions of use imposed by the licence; intended as a user-friendly list of basic terms and conditions
Used to identify the type of user of the resource (affiliated with a commercial vs. academic institution)
Download URL
This is a direct link to a downloadable file in a given format. E.g. CSV file or RDF file. The format is described by the distribution's dc:format and/or dcat:mediaType
Access URL
Could be any kind of URL that gives access to a distribution of the dataset. E.g. landing page, download, feed URL, SPARQL endpoint. Use when your catalog does not have information on which it is or when it is definitely not a download.
Fee
Specifies the costs that are required to access the resource, a fragment of the resource or to use a tool or service.
Attribution Text
The text that must be quoted for attribution purposes when using a resource - for cases where a resource is provided with a restriction on attribution.
Attribution Name
The name the creator of a Work would like used when attributing re-use.
Attribution URL
The URL the creator of a Work would like used when attributing re-use.
Licensor
The person who is legally eligible to license and actually licenses the resource. The licensor could be different from the creator, the distributor or the IPR holder. The licensor has the necessary rights or licences to license the work and is the party that actually licenses the resource that is distributed via the specific channel. She will have obtained the necessary rights or licences from the IPR holder and she may have a distribution agreement with a distributor that disseminates the work under a set of conditions defined in the specific licence and collects revenue on the licensor's behalf. The attribution of the creator, separately from the attribution of the licensor, may be part of the licence under which the resource is distributed (as e.g. is the case with Creative Commons Licences).
Distribution Rights Holder
Identifies a person or an organization that holds the distribution rights. The range and scope of distribution rights is defined in the distribution agreement. The distributor in most cases only has a limited licence to distribute the work and collect royalties on behalf of the licensor or the IPR holder and cannot give to any recipient of the work permissions that exceed the scope of the distribution agreement (e.g. to allow uses of the work that are not defined in the distribution agreement)
A way of categorising licences into three main categories: PUB, ACA or RES, according to CLARIN recommendations (cf. https://kitwiki.csc.fi/twiki/bin/view/FinCLARIN/ClarinLC)
For resources available but with conditions of use imposed by the type of licence.
Available: Restricted Use
For resources available with no restrictions of use (e.g. public domain resources).
Available: Unrestricted Use
For resources that are documented in the catalogue but the contents of which can only be accessed through other distribution channels.
Available Through Other Distributor
For resources whose availability is still pending.
