Great stuff, Leigh.
After convertingyour Turtle file into RDF/XML(ORDS.owl, attached file),
the ontology opens and behaves nicely in Protégé.
Since it would be valuable to have ODRS in Linked Open Vocabularies
(http://lov.okfn.org/dataset/lov/), I am copying this to Bernard.

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/publisher-guide.md
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:
https://github.com/theodi/open-data-licensing/issues
Thanks,
L.

<rdfs:comment xml:lang="en">A description of the rights and terms of re-use for a dataset. A rights statement will include a reference to one or more licences copyright notices, and attribution requirements. Where a Rights Statement refers to several licences the intention is that these should separately apply to the data and content associated with the dataset. An individual Rights Statement may be specific to a dataset or could be applied to a
number of datasets published by the same organisation or person, where the rights associated with each dataset are identical.</rdfs:comment>
