Dear Leigh,
I am glad to see that in the last few months a critical mass of interest
for licensing Linked Data is being formed.
Besides a couple of analogous initiatives [1][2], the ODRL Community
Group [3] is expected to publish an advanced draft during this month of
July: the OWL version of their ODRL v2 Core Model. Indeed, this upper
vocabulary can support the existing licensing terms in common data
licenses, either open and non-open.
Perhaps all these efforts might be aligned...
Regards,
Víctor

Hi,
At the UK Open Data Institute we've been working on some guidance and
a new vocabulary to help support the publication of machine-readable
rights statements for open data. The vocabulary builds on existing
work in this area (e.g. Dublin Core and Creative Commons) but
addresses a few issues that we felt were underspecified.
The vocabulary is intended to work in a wide variety of contexts, from
simple JSON documents and data packaging formats through to Linked
Data and Web APIs.
The work is now at a stage where we're keen to get wider feedback from
the community.
You can read a background on the work in this introductory blog post
on the UK ODI blog:
http://theodi.org/blog/machine-readable-rights-statements
The draft schema can be found here:
http://schema.theodi.org/odrs/
And there are publisher and re-user guides to accompany it:

https://github.com/theodi/open-data-licensing/blob/master/guides/reusers-guide.md
We would love to hear your feedback on the work. If you do have issues
or comments, then can I ask that you submit them as an issue to our
github project:

Thanks,
L.
