Issue
Usage policies are the requirements and permissions - or, more precisely, the duties, rights, and obligations - a provider imposes on a consumer to grant access to data.
Duties and obligations describe a similar thing and it is not clear how they map to "permission", "prohibition" and "obligation".
Possible Solution
- "rights, prohibitions and duties"
At least if the aim was to clarify what the three sets are used for.
According to ODRL, the permission field can also have a duty attached as a precondition. If that one is meant, it might need clarification.
As far as I understood, the three things do the following:
Permission: Define rules that must be satisfied in order to use the data.
Prohibition: Define what must not be done with the data (Not sure if it would also prevent from accessing, or if it only makes sense to be evaluated during the usage. May be both, but the former would be achievable through a permission.)
Obligation: What the data consumer must do while/after using the data (i.e. delete after processing or run in a certain environment, ...)
