How to apply

Prominently insert in all relevant places a statement like (replacing { DATA ( BASE) -NAME} with the name of your data / database):

This { NAME ( BASE) -DATA} is available under the Open Database License: http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/. Any right to the individual content of the database is licensed under the Database Content License: http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/dbcl/1.0/.

Notes

Local copy of the license: An alternative to using the url link is to keep a local copy of the license text in your project. In that case you should update the above notice to point to your local copy of the license within the project files.

Use your own license for the contents: You can apply your own specific license for the contents of the database instead of the License of Contents of the Database. To do this, replace the second sentence with the information about the license you want to use.
