Abstract
The creation of derivative data works, e.g. for purposes such as content creation, service delivery or process automation, is often accompanied by legal uncertainty about usage rights and high costs in the clearance of licensing issues. DALICC stands for Data Licenses Clearance Center. It supports legal experts, innovation managers and application developers in the legally secure reutilization of third party data and software. DALICC is a Semantic Web enabled software framework which allows the attaching of licenses in a machine readable format to a specific asset and supports the clearance of rights by providing the user with information about equivalence, similarity and compatibility between licenses if used in combination in a derivative work. In essence, DALICC helps to determine which information can be shared with whom, to what extent and under which conditions, thus lowering the costs of rights clearance and stimulating the data economy.
