[tdwg-content] Data Licenses; Was: Re: Occurrence Records, with Individuals and Identifications

Sun Oct 24 23:59:38 CEST 2010

Hi Bob,

I need to think about this a little more, but these are records that I had
previously exposed on GeoSpecies as cc with attribution., so they were a
change.

Also they include a photograph as supporting evidence, see foaf:depiction.

These were mainly done to create examples that showed an Occurrence,
Individual, Identification and used the ietf proposal for an "Area" geo e.g.

"geo:44.86528100,-87.23147800;u=10".

The example creates these in one RDF file, but assertions etc. can be made
about these individual entities as if they were separate things.

I think most data sets will probably need some sort of license that allows
them to be used but with some sort of attribution.

I would be interested in hearing people's opinion on what they would
recommend.

Also these records were created for purposes of the discussion, there are
some other aspects that I will probably change in the future.

Below is the actual RDF for the #Occurrence element.
