dct:source <https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-and-government/public-sector/mapping-agreements/inspire-licence.html>Review finding cc:legalcode and dct:source both pointed at an Ordnance Survey URL that returns 404, and the current site has no INSPIRE licence page, so the record had no working link to its text. dct:source now points at the Internet Archive snapshot of 30 March 2019, which is the text that was read for this review. cc:legalcode was left at the original URL, because it is the address the licence was published at and changing it would erase that fact; it is to be replaced once Ordnance Survey republishes the licence.

added
duty cc:NoticeReview finding The record carried no duty of any kind and was the single violation of rule 6 of the family-rule baseline, every record needs an attribution or notice duty. The licence has one, clause 3.1: "You shall not alter or remove any of the OS copyright / database right notices and licence numbers which are shown on the Supplied Data." A licence-wide cc:Notice duty was added, licence-wide because the duty is owed for any use and the acts that would normally carry it, distribution and public display, are prohibited here.

removed
prohibition dalicc:promoteManual edit The endorsement prohibition rested on no sentence of the text; the default rule for endorsement now supplies it.

dct:license <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/>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.

Version 1
The version this model had before the content review of 2026-09-15.
Every change names the reason behind it: a finding of the content review, one of its library-wide decisions, the metadata that review wrote onto every record, or a hand edit. None of it is legal advice.
Nothing on this page is legal advice. What a license means is decided by its text; ask a legal advisor before you rely on it.
