See what Mike wrote -- it is a standard which must be met to get the  
"Open Access Data Mark" and can be implemented in a variety of ways.

At the moment, there are no plans to localize the Open Data Commons  
project -- this is especially true since CC Zero will probably/ 
possibly go through this process. While the goal of the Open Data  
Commons project is to produce something that works everywhere, this  
of course causes some difficulty.  Any thoughts on how to approve the  
PDDL would be most welcome.
