Proper description of Licenses

Open igrangel opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

The range of dcterms:license is the class dcterms:LicenseDocument. Values used with this property have to be instances of the class LicenseDocument and therefore non-literal values as in the following example.

1 - Create an instance of the license.

sto:GPLv2 a dcterms:LicenseDocument ;
  rdfs:comment "Published under Open Content License." ;
  skos:prefLabel "OCL 1.0" ;
  rdfs:seeAlso <https://opcfoundation.org/license/gpl.htm> .
```	

2 - Link the standard with the created instance by using the `dcterms:license` property.
`sto:IEC_62541 dcterms:license sto:GPLv2 ;`

Licenses of standards `MUST` be changed in this way.

What's the current state here? Do we still need it? See also licenses in ODRL. They offer several common licenses in LD and can order them in pretty cool ways.
