In 2006 we began this process by launching our own attempt at an Open Data licence called the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talis.com\/tdn\/tcl\/\">Talis Community Licence<\/a> &#8211; this helped to shape some of our initial thoughts. Earlier this year we even convened a <a href=\"http:\/\/www2007.org\/panel7.php\">special workshop on Open Data<\/a> at the World Wide Web conference in Banff which helped us to understand the direction we wanted to move in and who we needed to work with to make this a reality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.opendatacommons.org\/odc-public-domain-dedication-and-licence\/\">This new licence represents a real milestone for us<\/a>. For the Semantic Web to succeed there needs to be more data coming online marked up for linking and sharing in this <em>web of data, <\/em>hopefully the licence can serve as a tool that enables more of us to share and contribute data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday we, at Talis, announced some wonderful news &#8211; Talis has been working in partnership with the Science Commons project of Creative Commons and we are all pleased to announce the release&nbsp; of the new Open Data Commons Public Domain &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/virtualchaos.co.uk\/blog\/2007\/12\/18\/talis-and-creative-commons-launch-new-open-data-licence\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[115,414,399],"class_list":["post-305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-talis","tag-creative-commons","tag-open-data","tag-talis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualchaos.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualchaos.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualchaos.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualchaos.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualchaos.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/virtualchaos.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualchaos.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualchaos.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualchaos.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
