Enhancement: add “no license” or “unknown license” to glossary #159

Closed effjot closed 8 months ago

effjot commented 1 year ago

Similar to the “unknown“ publication frequency, it would be useful to document if there is no license and/or license terms are unknown and if confidentiality is unknown.

Suggested addition to glossary:

field = 'dataset.license'
code = 'NO'
label_en = 'No or unknown license'
description_en = 'Dataset has been published explicitly without license or no license conditions have been documented'

field = 'dataset.confidentiality'
code = 'UNK'
label_en = 'Unknown'
description_en = 'Access restrictions for this dataset are unknown'

The cases of explictly no license and unknown licenses could be separated, if there is an use case for that.

I could prepare a PR if you like.

It's indeed different than a "NULL" value in the DB. It looks fine for me.

I have just realised that unkown publication frequency was a local addition and is not in the main branch. ;-)

So maybe add that as well:

field = 'dataset.publication_frequency'
code = 'UNK'
label_en = 'Unknown'
description_en = 'Frequency of maintenance for the data is not known'
