[dini-ag-kim-oer] Fwd: Licenses of Taxonomies, Vocabularies etc.

[Roertgen, Steffen]

Liebe Alle,

ich habe mal beim “Publications Office” der EU nachgefragt, welche Lizenzen dort für die Veröffentlichung von Vokabularen, Taxonomien und anderen Datensätzen empfohlen werden.

Die Antwort ist angehängt. Die EU und wir scheinen ähnlicher Auffassung zu sein, was mich sehr freut und vielleicht dient es der einen oder anderen ja in internen Diskussionen als Unterstützung.

Liebe Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende!
Steffen

Viele Grüße / Best regards,
