Recently, Digital Data Marketplaces (DDMs) are gaining wide attention as a sharing platform among different organizations. That is due to the fact that sharing the information and participating in research collaborations play an important role in addressing multiple scientific challenges. To increase trust among participating organizations multiple contracts and agreements should be established in order to determine regulations and policies about who has access to what. Describing these agreements in a general model to be applicable in different DDMs is of utmost importance. In this paper, we present a semantic model for describing the access policies by means of semantic web technologies. In particular, we use and extend the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) to describe the pre-established agreements in a DDM.
