[Tf-curation] clavas vocabulary for licenses

[Odijk, J.E.J.M. (Jan)]

Dear Ondřej,

There are hardly any  truly fixed lists.

I am in favor of having closed vocabularies wherever possible that are regularly extended. Just allowing any string as a value leads to chaos . It is perhaps easy for the metadata creator but gives a mess when you want to search/ browse in the data and will also require continuous effort to harmonise / curate, as was also pointed out (correctly) by Go Sugimoto,

Dear Jan, all,

I'm wondering if CLAVAS (or any "fixed" vocabulary) is a good fit for fields where new values will appear over time. Even though we try to avoid it as much as possible, we do have custom licenses applicable to just one particular item. How'd a dictionary handle that? A catch all "other" value doesn't feel right. Would that mean updating the dictionary periodically, and having "invalid" values in between the updates?

Currently we are using url with this concept http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-6586_2c79d86a-5a75-0890-d407-7d9cb86b9beb to identify/point to the license. Then the license name in our profile is optional and just a string.

Best,
Ondrej

Dear Curation task force,

The list of values for license in the (META_SHARE originating) profile resourceInfo (clarin.eu:cr1:p_1360931019836) is quite extensive, and I would like to reuse it for a profile I manage. A disadvantage is that no semantics for the vocabulary items are defined, but one can imagine working on that together with the original profile creator (Penny Labropoulou)

I cannot reuse the vocabulary because it is a vocabulary of  a CMDI element (and not, on its own, of a component).

An option would be to make this vocabulary a vocabulary in CLAVAS.
I understood from Menzo that there are plans for CLAVAS vocabulary for license, and I wonder whether this one is being taken into consideration, and what the plans for such a vocabulary are.

I look forward to your response
Jan
