Rights Metadta
Creative Commons has announced that their rights metadata will now be semantically richer.
First, the RDF/XML we serve for each license is now considerably more informative. It includes:an explicit pointer to the license legalcodeinformation on when the license was deprecated (for example, the Developing Nations 2.0 metadata)information about what license replaces this one (for example, the Attribution 1.0 Generic metadata)an explicit assertion about the license?s jurisdiction; this was previously encoded only by convention
In addition to the RDF/XML, we?re starting to encode license information as RDFa on the license deeds. Try using the GetN3 bookmarklet on the Attribution 3.0 Unported deed for an example.
We?re also starting to use this metadata to power our own applications. The OpenOffice.org Addin ships with a copy of the RDF and uses SPARQL to determine the license you?ve selected. As we continue to build out the tools around CC licenses we?ll be moving in a similar direction, looking for ways we can leverage this resource we already have.
You can build on it, too; everything we do goes into source control. You can find the RDF files in the license.rdf module. A description of the namespace is also available.
