[Odrl-version2] Delivery Channel?

[Myles, Stuart]

A constraint named "Medium" makes sense to me - it is more general than
"distribution channel".

 

Perhaps we can adapt the definition from Wordnet
(http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=medium "a means or
instrumentality for storing or communicating information") to instead
just be "a means for storing or communicating information"?

 

Regards,

Stuart

	In news, we often need to express a permission or restriction
that relates to a particular delivery channel.  For example:

	NO MOBILE

	NO INTERNET

	EXAMINER ONLINE OUT

	(The last example means that a particular newspaper (The
Examiner) isn't allowed to use a particular piece of content on its
website - although, by implication, other websites are fine).

	I thought that I might model this a Constraint.  The two
possible constraints that might make sense, I suppose, might be Spatial
(on the grounds that the Internet is sort of like a place) or perhaps
Product is a better fit?  However, is it possible to add a new
constraint of "Delivery Channel" (or perhaps "Distribution Channel")?

 

What if we added a new Constraint called "Medium" (ie a communications
channel).

 

Then we can have:

  Prohibition.Action.Distribute

  Constraint.Name.Medium=Mobile

 

and

  Prohibition.Action.Distribute

  Constraint.Name.Medium=Online

  Constraint.Name.Product=Examiner
