[Odrl-version2] Core Model: Roles, Parties and Assets

[David Martin]

No, I'm not talking about a Duty.  In the ONIX vocabulary, Include is a 
Usage Type (or Action Name) which relates to a freestanding act which 
may be either Permitted or Prohibited.  Including a licensed content 
part in a course pack is not a Duty associated with another Action - 
it's an Action in its own right.  Of course, we understand that Include 
may also be part of a Duty, if it's a matter of including a credit or 
acknowledgement, for example.

 From the very first stages of looking at the ODRL model, we identified 
the fact that it allows only one Asset to be associated with an Action 
(other than via Duty) as a limitation which we would have to ask you to 
consider removing.  The ONIX Usage entity has a mandatory Used Resource 
(= ODRL Asset), but it also has an optional Usage Related Resource, 
repeatable with role values to express the nature of the association. 
We believe this is an essential element for some permissions and 
prohibitions.

I hope, however, that I'm not misunderstanding the scope of Duty in the 
ODRL context.
