Joinup Semantic Asset Licensing Framework

The Joinup Semantic Asset Licensing Framework is a light weight system to acquire legal information about semantic assets stored in the Joinup platform, to link that legal information to the asset and to allow users of the Joinup platform to filter assets based on that legal information. It also establishes a system for the production of assets on the Joinup platform, the ISA Collaborator Licence Agreement v1.0, and a licensing model for Joinup's own assets, the ISA Open Metadata Licence v1.0, with a focus on optimal conditions for re-use of those assets.

Note: the ISA Open Metadata Licence was updated. The latest version is now v1.1: ISA Open Metadata Licence v1.1
