Changes to the license models

What DALICC changed in its curated models, when, and why.

A license model is corrected when a reading of the legal text turns out to be wrong. Every correction changes what the compatibility checker answers, so each change below names the reason behind it and links to the record it was made on.

  • Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.0 Brazil version 2 2026-09-24

    added Source: >

    Review finding The record carried cc:legalcode but no dct:source, so it had a single provenance link where the 4.0 International parents carry two. The canonical URL of the port, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/br/, was added, which is the pair, legal code plus deed, that the parents use and that the other 2.0 port group applied as well.

  • Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.0 Brazil version 2 2026-09-24

    added License: >

    Manual edit Every record is published under CC BY 4.0. cc:license names the record DALICC keeps of that licence; dct:license now names it by the address Creative Commons publishes it at, so that a consumer matching the canonical IRI finds it.

  • Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.0 Brazil version 2 2026-09-24

  • Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.0 Austria version 2 2026-09-24

    changed Target asset types: Creative work (i.e. text, picture, sound, movie), Dataset

    was Target asset types: Creative work (i.e. text, picture, sound, movie)

    Review finding The record targeted dalicc:CreativeWork only, while the 4.0 International parent CC-BY-NC-4.0 targets dalicc:CreativeWork and dcmitype:Dataset. This port licenses database rights in its own words, so the asset type is text supported rather than merely plausible. Ziffer 1 counts a database among the objects of a related right: a "verwandtes Schutzrecht" is the right in a protected subject matter other than a work, "zum Beispiel einem nachgelassenen Werk, einem Lichtbild, einer Datenbank, einem Schallträger, einer Rundfunksendung, einem Laufbild oder einer Darbietung eines ausübenden Künstlers", and the Schutzgegenstand offered under the licence is the work, the collection or the object of such a related right. Ziffer 4 and Ziffer 7 name "eine Datenbank" next to an adaptation and a collection. Added dcmitype:Dataset.
