Hi Denny, Finn, Sven, et al.,
I was hugely encouraged by your discussion on the Wikidata list RE: importing data,
licence chains etc.
My own work on
www.linkedheritage.eu<http://www.linkedheritage.eu> is covering the
exact same issues you raised (database right, import from multiple source databases, open
licenses for reuse) plus a couple more special to commercial sector data providers (risk
and benefit of contributing to open data sources; commercial reuse potential of existing
open data)...
If anyone is interested in sharing some thoughts just on these topics, especially the
technical and organisational feasibility of managing this rights info, on or off list, I
would be grateful and happy to share my summaries of the issues.
Best wishes,
Michael Hopwood
