OBO Foundry Review of Plant Ontology
- Principle 1: The Ontology is Open
Some improvement desirable
-The self-review states that the PO is released under a Creative Commons license. However, it is not specified which Creative Commons license has been chosen. The ontology file does not contain a statement about the license or the policy for reuse of the ontology. However, the information is available on the website e.g. at http://plantontology.org/docs/otherdocs/principles_rationales.html: Plant Ontology by Plantontology.org is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 United States License. We recommend that the exact license chosen be included in an additional ontology annotation in the ontology file. According to the OBO Foundry principle 1 documentation, this should make use of two annotations using the following properties:
- dc:license
- rdfs:comment
The license type goes in the dc:license field. The mode of attribution goes in the rdfs:comment field.
While Creative Commons 3.0 CC-by license is recommended, this is not mandatory and therefore the chosen attribution-noderivs license is also compatible with the Open principle. However, we urge you to consider weakening the license to one that encourages sharing and reuse without constraint to further the adoption by the community and the value of the resource for the community.
