=93[OWL 2] allows people to capture their knowledge about a particular
domain (say, energy or medicine) and then use tools to manage
information, search through it, and learn more from it. Furthermore,
as an open standard based on Web technology, it lowers the cost of
merging knowledge from multiple domains.=94

Also, building off of our existing work around the application of
copyright licenses to content and data, there is now a resource
available at sciencecommons.org that sheds light on copyright
considerations for ontologies. We have long been asked what is the
best means to license (or not) ontologies, a topic that=92s not always
easy to discern in terms of applicable rights regimes.

The resource explores when copyright may apply to an ontology as well
as a number of other concerns regarding protection and the means to
achieve that.

You can find this resource =96 =93Ontology Copyright Licensing
