Dataset license review can be represented as provenance and obligation flow. Honesty note: simplified US federal IP and licensing classroom model; jurisdictions, registrations, licenses, and facts vary; the pinned first step states the as-of date; not legal advice.

Use an audit flow

The stated process maps dataset record to source provenance, license label, obligation rows, and human review.

dataset to source to review\text{dataset to source to review}

Example dataset packet

The toy dataset packet has a dataset row, a source-provenance row, a license-label row, and obligation rows.

The flow recomputes the route

The procedure flow recomputes 5 nodes and 4 edges from the authored audit map.

nodes=5,edges=4\text{nodes}=5,\quad \text{edges}=4

Diagram note

The diagram is a provenance workflow. It does not decide dataset-use permissions or license status.

Summary

Dataset license review should expose provenance, label rows, obligations, and human review before any use decision.
