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 ----Original Message---- From: [log in to unmask] Date: 17/07/2009 19:09 To: "Naomi Korn"<[log in to unmask]> Subj: FW: TALIS Connected Commons - hosting/licensing for linked data -----Original Message----- From: Museums Computer Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Nick Poole Sent: 17 July 2009 10:57 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: TALIS Connected Commons - hosting/licensing for linked data 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: http://www.talis.com/platform/cc/ This Nodalities blog post explains more about the approach: http://blogs.talis.com/nodalities/2009/07/linked-data-public-domain. php I'd be interested in your thoughts about the applicability of the model for museums.
