Unable to override license Name

[kartgk]

Publishers.txt

The link on the generated License element seems to be right - But on screen it is displaying as 'license name goes here'. So I tried to override it using config.properties config.txt

But it still doesnt change the displayed name. Can you please advise.

When reading the metadata properties from the ontology, you can only extract the license URL or the name, but not both (depending what you assert on the license property).

If you run the tool with the -licensius flag, in theory it will go to that service and attempt to retrieve the license name. But it is failing quite a bit lately, and now it seems to be down.

If you run the program to get the metadata from the config file, you have to use the "-confFile" flag. However, that will make WIDOCO to not extract metadata from the ontology. Have you tried that?

I think that I am going to slightly change the tool so if by default you don't have a name for your license but you have the license URI, use the license URI instead of the default text. Would that be sufficient?

I tried with the -confFile and removed licensius and -getOntologyMetadata options. Now I get

Error while generating the documentation null

I m aware of only the dct:license property to specify license URL. How to specify name ?

I guess, when licensius is failing, your solution of showing the URI would do for now. Thanks for responding diligently and suggesting options.

Didnt know whether this is an issue, so just asking here - How to get the 'Description' section populated - Is it driven by ontology metadata or is expected to be done manually ? ( I tried dc:description, dct, skos.. as mentioned in the best practices page without success )

@kartgk First of all, thanks to you for opening these issues. I have noticed that there is no documentation explaining many of the questions you ask, and I should fix that.

Some comments: 1) I am not aware of a solution for specifying the license name, unfortunately. That is why I accessed Licensius. What I should do within the tool is that instead of just adding "license name goes here" I will add the URI if the name is not known. Probably I will hardcode some of the most popular licenses (apache, MIT, creative commons) to get the names, and for the rest try and access licensius if it works.

2) If you run WIDOCO with the -confFile option, you need to complete all metadata in the configuration file. None will be completed from the ontology. Therefore the tool probably be failing because in your config file there is no URI for the ontology, etc. I suggest you have a look at the default config file https://github.com/dgarijo/Widoco/blob/master/doc/configurationSamples/config/config.properties and complete the properties you like. If you don't want to add something, then I suggest leave it blank.

3) I have talked to the person responsible in Licensius, it should be back on soon.

4) The description section is meant to be completed manually. Here is an example: http://linked.earth/ontology/core/1.2.0/index-en.html#desc. At the moment is not completed from any metadata property. In the future, I would like some sort of example to be automatically added, but that is future work. You can always comment it out from the documentation if you don't want to include it.

Great, thanks for the detailed response. Will take care of the description section manually.

We are trying to use the MIT license. Would help to know what URL to add to dct:license to get this working through licensius. Which one should we be using https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT or http://purl.org/NET/rdflicense/MIT1.0 Can you please check with the licensius person and let us know. Would have tried to contact licensius directly, but we are using it through widoco, so thought this would be better.

The purl URI is from http://rdflicense.linkeddata.es/

which is linked from the licensius site http://licensius.com/

[dgarijo]

I think it is better to use the former. The latter is an identifier used to describe the license metadata. It should be recognized by Licensius. The only issue I can imagine is due to a malfunction of the service.

[kartgk]

Used this but no luck. https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT

This is our published ontology https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/master/latest/BE/Corporations/Corporations/

And generated index file https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/widoco/master/latest/BE/Corporations/Corporations/index-en.html

Created an issue on the licensius repository https://github.com/oeg-upm/licensius/issues/1

[vroddon]

Hi! The following URL http://purl.org/NET/rdflicense/MIT1.0 is served with content negotiation. By default, it leads to the most official license source, but if requested RDF it will return the RDF representation as interpreted by us --please note that we are not an authoritative source, but the RDF may help.

About the reported problem in https://github.com/oeg-upm/licensius/, you can count on the solution to be ready by the end of Wednesday 10th. ---Sorry for the delays, we just landed form the Christmas break..

Regards, Víctor

@dgarijo I am following up with vroddon ( licensius ) to handle https. In addition when widoco build is running, i see this error when I run with the --licensius option

-->Could not load license for vocab: connect timed out

why is it trying vocab license. Corporations.txt

[dgarijo]

This error just says that the license could not be loaded for the target vocabulary. I guess that something in licensius didn't return. Is the service enabled? I had to disable it by default because when it was down it took too much time to respond...

[vroddon]

Received. Tomorrow will try to check this. Thanks for reporting!

[dgarijo]

Since Licensius was updated after reporting this, I will close the issue
