all contributions to the Ontolog community todate, are under the
existing copyright policty, which includes 'right of attribution' -
this means nobody can extrapolate knowlege propagated via the list
withouth duly referencing its source. (02)
This include all discussions, papers and wiki entries relating to Open
Ontology, (from which the OOR stuff is derived) and Ontology Metadata,
for example (of which, incidentally I am the author) (03)
Even if the names of the topics are shuffled around a bit, and the
content of the contribution is desperately being y morphed and
exploded into bigger picture using awkward linguisting convolutions,
it is obvious that the OOR discussions, and derived artifaces,
currently being discussed in a privale list, under a separate IPR
policy, to be
decided, originated from those entries done on the list and on the
wiki, and reference existing copyrighted work (stuff that is not on
the ontolog list) (04)
So while lack of reference in subsequent developments of this research
area is unethical (and puzzling) it is also a copyright infringement
(right of attribution). of pre- existing IPR (05)
So I am afraid ' to be specified soon' implies, by law, in
accordance to existing IPR policies of the forum where the IPR was
generated in the first place (06)
etc etc etc (07)
