Hi Keiran,

That's exactly my understanding of licence.  The current definition comes from ISO, but I'll expand it to clarify.  I also understand that the mapping between detailed data policies such as you cite in your example and these broad class terms could well be many-to-many - a relationship I'm finding I need to accommodate more and more in metadata that accurately describes the real world!

Cheers, Roy.

Dear Roy,

I've had a quick read of these.

My concern is that 'licence terms' and 'licence fees' seem to be
confused in the list.  In that regard the fees may vary depending on the
licence conditions.  Even for a situation where no fees are payable, the
licence may (should) place boundaries on what you can do with it.  For
example you may not abe able to transfer the data to a third party.

> including the kind of  terms you get in vocabularies built 
> without governance e.g. 'see website').

> What I'm trying to achieve through this vocabulary is to 
> provide the discoverer of a dataset with a reasonably clear 
> picture of the hoops that need to be negotiated to get hold 
> of the dataset.  Guess its really a classification of data 
> access policies.  Let me have any comments.
