To convey the license that applies to a
scholarly object to machines,
use the
license
link relation type
to link from the object's
landing page
to a URI for the applicable license. A URI for an object's license conveyed on links with the
license
relation type should be an HTTP URI chosen from license namespaces that are widely supported by the community,
such as
SPDX or
Creative Commons.
The below examples illustrate the use of
license links in the
HTTP Link header of HTML landing pages. But
license links can also be provided in
that page's HTML
link element and/or in a
Link Set that is discoverable from the landing page.
