Dear Nick
this is an interesting issue. Tallis Commons uses as its basis two
licences: CC ZERO and Open Data Commons Licences - which have been
around now for a little while. The premis of CC Zero is that the
creator waives all their rights, whilst the principle behind Open Data
Commons is to provide a mechanism for the licensing of data and any
subsequent database rights which might arise - currently not addressed
adequately by the suite of CC Licences. In effect, CC Zero could also
be used for data.
My sense is that both licences are more suitably applied to data and
databases, rather than content. I think within a cultural heritage
context, there may be some scope for the application of either to pure
data, but my view is that the suite of CC standard licences are more
fit for purpose for cultural heritage content than the licences
encapuslated within the Tallis scheme. It would be interesting to hear
other thoughts from list members on this issue
Best wishes
Naomi

Dear all,
In case you haven't seen it, you might be interested in TALIS'
announcement
of the Connected Commons, including hosting for linked data and a
waiver-based system for dealing with rights issues:

This Nodalities blog post explains more about the approach:

I'd be interested in your thoughts about the applicability of the
model for
museums.
All best,
Nick
