+1 to license, meets our use case at a large UG gov laboratory and I imagine others are in the same boat. |
the use of standard uri of a license should be encouraged (if it fits the scope of the dataset) so that machine can understand it. |
+1 SPDX's version, e.g., Could look like: $ curl -I https://spdx.org/licenses/CC-BY-ND-4.0.html |
I didn’t know about the SPDX license registry. It’s very neat in that it brings together so many licenses. But it’s problematic that the licenses are assigned a URI with SPDX baseURL. The I wonder whether anyone knows the people that operate the SPDX registry? |
Here is source github repository of spdx : https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data @hvdsomp @martinklein0815 we should not use uri that is not permanent. |
I have started to normalize license URLs in DataCite metadata using SPDX and the |

@kitchenprinzessin3880 It was not the intent to suggest using the SPDX license URIs. Quite to the contrary; clearly the original URIs for the licenses should be used. Having said that SPDX provides a very nice registry of licenses that could be used for discovery purposes. Hence, combining the idea of using SPDX as a registry for discovery and the desire not to use SPDX URIs of licenses, our suggestion was to make it unambiguously clear in the SPDX descriptions that another license URI should be used. Currently I notice, indeed, that there are sometimes multiple original license URIs listed under the same SPDX license URI ... |

Should
license
links be introduced? Optional? At Level 1? At Level 2? This desire to add this capability came up in discussions regarding the Next Generation Repositories work from the Confederation of Open Access Repositories.Note that the approach that is currently taken would allow to express different licenses for the scholarly object as a whole and for individual content resources. That approach is already taken for other typed links too, e.g.
cite-as
,describedby
,author
. For example, regardingcite-as
links pertaining to content resources, the doc says:Provide a
cite-as
link only if the content resource has a persistent identifier that is distinct from the persistent identifier of the scholarly object as a whole.Meaning, if no
cite-as
link is provided, the content resource inherits its PID from the scholarly object as a whole. But if acite-as
link is provided, it has to be distinct from that of the scholarly object as a whole. The same approach could be applied tolicense
links.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
