The document describes the DALICC Vocabulary, which was developed as part of the DALICC project to represent legal expressions from licenses in a machine-readable way. The vocabulary extends the ODRL and CCRel ontologies with additional properties needed to capture the full semantic spectrum of copyright statements. Examples are provided showing how the BSD 3.0, CC-BY, and Apache licenses can be represented using the DALICC vocabulary. The goal is to significantly reduce the costs of license clearance for derivative works by developing a framework that can understand and process license information.

18. Vision and market gap
• Motivation
– Comments are becoming an integral part
of the Web, and not only the Social Web
– Yet, comment management is largely ad-

• Grand vision: interconnect, search,

exist on the Web
Methinks
Methinks Application
• Advantages for consumers/end-users
– Become well-informed in just a glance
– Quickly identify non-standard information that can be
found only in comments
– Browse based on arguments, not on words
• Advantages for analysts (admins)
– A cheap way to integrate fancy, comment-related
functionality in one’s web site
– A measurable way to extract conclusions (analytics) in
online discussions

34. Introduction
DALICC stands for Data Licenses Clearance Center. The
project‘s aim is to develop a software framework that
significantly reduces the costs of license clearance in the
creation of derivative (data) works.
DALICC follows a deontic approach to express machine-
readable permissions, prohibitions and duties defined in a
license. DALICC utilizes the ODRL 2.0 ontology in
combination with CCRel. Additionally DALICC utilizes an
extended set of properties that are necessary to capture the
full semantic spectrum of legal expressions defined in a
license text.
By doing so DALICC allows to represent property rights
policies in a legally valid and machine-processable way.

DALICC Vocabulary – REL Extension
The DALICC vocabulary extensions evolved from an in depth
analysis of 15 standard licenses (including CC, APACHE, BSD,
GPL MIT) under the supervision of legal experts. The following
expressions need to be added to cover the full semantic
spectrum of copyright statements:
PROPERTIES AFFECTING THE ASSET PROPERTIES AFFECTING THE LICENCE
dalicc:charge dalicc:addStatement
dalicc:sublicense dalicc:attributionNotice
dalicc:promote dalicc:attachOffer
dalicc:publish dalicc:chargeOffer
dalicc:irrevocable
dalicc:modificationNotice
dalicc:noWarrantyNotice
dalicc:patentFree
dalicc:patentNotice
dalicc:perpetual
dalicc:royaltyFree
dalicc:worldwide
The examples illustrate the RDF/Turle syntax of BSD 3.0, CC-BY
and APACHE using the DALICC properties (bold).

Future Work
The DALICC Framework will consist of four components:
• License Composer: Lets you create customized licenses
• License Library: Lets you choose from a set of standard licenses
• License Annotator: Provides you with a machine-readable and human-readable version of
your license
• License Negotiator: Checks compatibility, detects conflicts and supports conflict resolution
