Article by Brian Green and Liam Earney (Serials 20.3 [Nov. 2007]:
235-239). This article looks at the issues facing libraries as they seek to
manage and communicate rights negotiated in an ever increasing number of
licenses for online resources.
JISC ONIX-PL Website
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/programme_pals2/synthesis/standards/olt.aspx
JISC Collections identified a priority requirement by UK academic libraries
for about 80 existing licenses to be available in machine-readable form, with
full representation of the license, including all clauses and usage rights
expressed. They are using ONIX-PL and the prototype OPLE editing tools to do
this.
