Dear CIDOC CRM SIG,

we are the DORA research project at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in 
Nuremberg, focusing on rights management in archives. We presented our project 
and some initial ideas at the last CIDOC CRM SIG meeting (link to the 
presentation<https://cidoc-crm.org/sites/default/files/DORA_Connecting%20CIDOC%20CRM%20with%20the%20rights%20expression%20language%20ODRL.pdf>).
 Thank you again for your valuable feedback.

As mentioned during the meeting, we would now like to open an issue and further 
develop a proposal for a CIDOC CRM extension that provides semantic links 
between CIDOC CRM and ODRL (Open Digital Rights Language).

Since our presentation, we discovered another project, called REEVALUATE (Home 
page - REEVALUATE<https://reevaluate.eu/>), that has independently worked on 
linking the two ontologies. The ontology they developed, called CACAO, is 
available here: https://reevaluate.github.io/cacao-ontology/index-en.html

REEVALUATE comes to the same conclusions as we did regarding the semantic 
alignment of the following classes:
- ODRL Asset (ODRL Information Model 
2.2<https://www.w3.org/TR/odrl-model/#asset)>) and CIDOC CRM E72 Legal Object
- ODRL Party (ODRL Information Model 
2.2<https://www.w3.org/TR/odrl-model/#party)>) and CIDOC CRM E39 Actor

In addition, we would like to connect ODRL Policy with CIDOC CRM E30 Right 
through a new property. REEVALUATE addresses this by introducing the property 
"expressedBy", linking E30 Right (domain) to ODRL Policy (range).
For a CIDOC CRM extension, we would suggest the property name: P?_isExpressedBy 
(Domain: E30 Right, Range: ODRL Policy). We would also propose defining the 
corresponding inverse property, tentatively named: P?i_expresses (Domain: ODRL 
Policy, Range: E30 Right).

We hope that an official extension will prevent future projects from having to 
resolve the same interoperability issue on their own, as was the case with both 
DORA and REEVALUATE.

Furthermore, Martin Doerr kindly shared with us the files of the "Digital 
Rights Ontology" (DRO) developed within the European-funded IST project CASPAR 
(Cultural, Artistic and Scientific knowledge for Preservation, Access and 
Retrieval, IST-2005-2.5.10). We believe this work may provide valuable guidance 
for modelling additional rights-related concepts.

We would greatly appreciate your thoughts on these proposals and warmly welcome 
anyone interested in contributing to the development of an ODRL extension for 
CIDOC CRM.



Kind regards,
Kathrin Fischeidl und Katharina Hefele
