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.

  • Educational Community License v1.0 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.

  • Developer License 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), Dataset, Software

    Review finding The asset collection included dcmitype:Software. The subject of this licence is Exploration Data, defined as data made available for research and development; unlike the other National Archives records, whose definition of Information names source code expressly, this document never mentions software. Removed, under the library's rule that asset types follow the legal text.

  • Developer License version 2 2026-09-24

    added Valid For: "P1Y"

  • Developer License version 2 2026-09-24

    changed Validity: Specify period

    was Validity: Perpetual

    Review finding dalicc:validityType said dalicc:perpetual. The licence is not perpetual: it "lets you use [Licensor] Data for 12 months", renews automatically unless either party ends it, ends automatically 24 months after the last request for updates, grants a "revocable licence" and can be terminated by either party with immediate effect. Changed to dalicc:specifyPeriod, the vocabulary term the composer already writes for a licence granted for a period.

To acknowledge that the OS Exploration Data is from OS and is protected by law, you must clearly display the following statement alongside your use of the data: Crown copyright and database rights Ordnance Survey Limited (insert year)." A licence-wide cc:Attribution duty was added, licence-wide because the duty is owed for any use and not only when the data is passed on.

  • Data Exploration Licence version 2 2026-09-24

    changed Source: Data-exploration-licence>

    Review finding cc:legalcode and dct:source both pointed at https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-and-government/licensing/licences/data-exploration.html, which returns 404, so the record had no working link to the licence at all. cc:legalcode now points at the terms PDF, https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/documents/licences/data-exploration-licence.pdf, and dct:source at the product page, https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/licensing/data-exploration-licence.

    added Validity: Specify date

    Review finding The record was the only one in the library without a dalicc:validityType, and it carries scho:startDate 2018-01-01 and scho:endDate 2018-12-31. dalicc:specifyDate is the vocabulary term the composer pairs with those two properties, so it was added. The licence itself is time limited: "You can use the OS Data for 6 months from the date you first access the OS Data", three months for third party data.
