ODRL 2.2

This page specifies how a license revision’s scope is rendered as an ODRL 2.2 policy in JSON-LD, the TLP profile terms the rendering uses, and what the rendering does and does not mean.

Status of a rendering

TLP-ODRL-1. A license server MAY publish an ODRL rendering of a license revision. A rendering MUST be generated from the revision’s scope, MUST carry the revision’s object IRI as its uid and its terms_digest as tlp:termsDigest, and MUST mark every duty that renders a recorded term with "tlp:enforcement": "recorded". When a rendering and the signed terms disagree, the signed terms govern. TLP-ODRL-2. A party MUST NOT treat the result of evaluating an ODRL rendering as a TLP decision. Whether a use may proceed is decided only by a check (Decision semantics).

The TLP profile

A rendering declares the profile https://docs.reflections.ai/standard/interop/odrl and uses the prefix tlp: for https://docs.reflections.ai/standard/interop/odrl#. The profile adds these terms to the ODRL 2.2 vocabulary:

Term	Kind	Values
`tlp:modality`	Left operand	`tlp:modality_` followed by a modality, such as `tlp:modality_image`
`tlp:kind`	Left operand	`tlp:kind_` followed by a use kind, such as `tlp:kind_depiction`
`tlp:commercial`	Left operand	`true` or `false`
`tlp:adjustment`	Left operand	`tlp:adjustment_` followed by an adjustment kind, such as `tlp:adjustment_hair`
`tlp:disclosureLevel`	Left operand	`tlp:disclosure_licensed`, `tlp:disclosure_brand`, `tlp:disclosure_scope`
`tlp:disclose`	Action	Label the output with `tlp:text`
`tlp:train`	Action	Train or fine-tune a model on the target
`tlp:submitOutput`, `tlp:embedReceipt`, `tlp:instructModel`	Action	Meet `generation_check`, `c2pa_manifest`, `generation_instructions`
`tlp:termsDigest`, `tlp:license`, `tlp:text`, `tlp:enforcement`	Property	Strings

Purposes and channels are named the same way, as tlp:purpose_advertising and tlp:channel_social. Each IRI names one field’s value, so audio the modality and audio the channel stay distinct.

Example (informative)

Ridgeline’s license K7Q4M2 from Maya Okafor: image depiction of her studio likeness for advertising, on social media and the web, in the United States and Canada, from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Reframing, background extension, lighting, text overlay and objects are allowed; the other seven adjustments are not. Outputs carry a brand disclosure, and training is prohibited.

Mapping

TLP-ODRL-3. A rendering MUST map each scope field it renders as this table specifies, and MUST leave out fields the table marks as not rendered.

TLP scope field	ODRL
The license’s talent	`assigner`
The license’s licensee	`assignee`
The revision ID, and `terms_digest`	Policy `uid`, and `tlp:termsDigest`
`facets`	`target` of each rule
`modalities`	Constraint `tlp:modality`, `eq` or `isAnyOf`
`kinds`	Constraint `tlp:kind`. The permitted action is `derive`: the output is a new asset derived from the facet.
`purposes`	Constraint `purpose`
`commercial`	Constraint `tlp:commercial`, `eq`
`channels`	Constraint `deliveryChannel`, `isAnyOf`
`territories`	Constraint `spatial`, `isAnyOf`, with ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes. `WW` is rendered as no spatial constraint.
`window`	Constraints `dateTime`, `gteq` the start and `lt` the end
`adjustments` set to `false`, and `prohibited_changes`	Prohibition of `modify`, refined by `tlp:adjustment`
`final_deliverables`	Constraint `count`, `lteq`, on the permission
`platforms` with mode `listed`	Constraint `systemDevice`, `isAnyOf` the platforms’ object IRIs
`sublicense` set to `end_users_personal`	Permission `grantUse`, constrained to `purpose` `tlp:purpose_personal` and `tlp:commercial` `false`
`material_access`	Permission `reproduce` on each listed facet
`training` set to `prohibited`	Prohibition of `tlp:train`
`release_policy` set to `per_output_review`	Duty `obtainConsent`
`disclosure`	Duty `tlp:disclose`, refined by `tlp:disclosureLevel`
`attribution`	Duty `attribute`, with `tlp:text`
`compensation`	Duty `compensate`, refined by `payAmount` with its `unit`
`exclusivity`	Duty `ensureExclusivity`, marked `"tlp:enforcement": "recorded"`
`required_attributes`, `rules`, `monthly_limits`, `sessions`, `escalation_window`, `conflicts`, `post_revocation`	Not rendered. ODRL has no counterpart; the license server applies them.

Obligations that a decision carries map to duties in the same way:

Obligation	ODRL duty
`generation_check`	`tlp:submitOutput`
`hold_until_release`	`obtainConsent`
`draft_watermark`	`watermark`
`generation_instructions`	`tlp:instructModel`
`disclosure`	`tlp:disclose`
`attribution`	`attribute`
`c2pa_manifest`	`tlp:embedReceipt`
`no_training`	Prohibition of `tlp:train`
`delete_material`	`delete`
`usage_report`	`inform`
