Re: How to negate cc:permits, cc:prohibits, cc:requires?

Hi Patrick,

Sorry for such a delayed reply here.  I'm working on cleaning out my
reply queue and obviously this got stuck :).

As we've discussed off list, part of the answer here is better
communication of how ccREL models a copyright license.  ccREL assumes
a baseline of copyright and then offers additional permissions beyond
what's allowed under copyright.  Those permissions may be further
refined with prohibitions or requirements (ie, Commercial Use or
Attribution).  With this sort of model negating those individual terms
doesn't make a lot of sense.

With respect to OWL, a volunteer began the process of "porting" the
schema to OWL and at some point the process stalled.  As far as I know
there wasn't a technical issue, rather I think their need went away
(or changed).  If an OWL representation would be useful we'd
definitely provide review and hosting for it (as a peer with the RDF
Schema).
