Something of additional value for the database:
A way to easily traverse the OGC inheritance. I.e., some sort of tree
depicting the chain of derivation back to the original OGC. Yes, the
copyright notices will essentially contain this information, but being able
to see these chains abstracted from the license will make tracking easier.
Plus, whenever possible, it'd be nice to have direct links to the OGC
parents/ancestors of a given document, whether the links go to other
documents in the repository or to publishers websites (when their materials
are not archived in the repository).
