[odrl-version2] Announce: ODRL Services Working Group

[Renato Iannella]

The ODRL Initiative is pleased to announce the following new working  
group:

ODRL Services Profile Working Group
=======================
The ODRL Services (ODRL-S) Profile working group is developing the  
semantics for licensing Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) services. The  
profile will address the core semantics for the licenses to enable  
services to be used, reused, and amalgamated with other services. By  
expressing the license terms in ODRL, greater features can be  
supported, such as automatically detecting conflicts in service  
conditions, and making explicit all requirements and conditions.

The WG will develop an ODRL Profile that extends the ODRL language to  
support the SOC community requirements. The profile will be based on  
prior work completed at the University of Trento on service licensing.

WG Chairs:
  - G.R. Gangadharan, University of Trento
  - Renato Iannella, NICTA
