Current Licensing Formats

Part of the licensing effort to develop means for authors and publishers to indicate licensing and attribution requirements.

This page serves to document a list of licensing and attribution metadata schemas, formats, and efforts as background for the design of [licensing]] information which may be used in various microformats, e.g., media-info (when completed).

Are there any known efforts specifically concerning licensing and attribution?

• Picture Licensing Universal System may be vapor, no documented format, will attempt to cover every image licensing scenario and hence will be very complex if ever completed

Many formats accommodate licensing and attribution but are broader in scope, e.g.,

• XMP
• Dublin Core
• See media-formats and citation-formats for others.
