Licensing Brainstorming

The very beginning.

See licensing for background.

Discussion

Set of classes pertinent to supporting licensing and attribution requirements and complements. These classes could be used at webpage level or within relevant microformats, e.g., media-info.

The first column may be too URL-centric, see notes for parent work, may apply to others.

Overly descriptive strawman not intended to conform with any conventionExisting class(es); sourceNotes
work title fn; hCard See examples#title
attribution name author; hAtom Might be a vcard with fn, may also be an organization
See examples#attribution
attribution url url; hCard An author might have a url, should this be taken as the attribution url? If a work has a url, should it be taken as the attribution url?
See examples#link
donation url payment; rel-payment
offer; hListing
How to disambiguate from commercial licensing and purchase?
See examples#donation
commercial licensing url payment; rel-payment

sell, offer; hListing

copyright; HTML LinkType
How to disambiguate from donation and purchase?
See examples#commercial
purchase url payment; rel-payment
sell, offer; hListing
How to disambiguate from donation and commercial licensing?
See examples#purchase
content hash checksum, sha1; hash-examples See examples#hash
provenance url See examples#provenance
parent work url? Should this be a url? Maybe it should be a TBD "media" microformat which may be otherwise described.


See examples#derivative

Probably should be a URL -- a uf can have a #URL if it has an id.

Strawman example

Perhaps there should be an 'attribution' class which might hint that a fn or url should be used for attribution? Something like (webpage scope):


<a class="url attribution fn" href="http://example.com">My First Cookbook</a>
<div class="author vcard">
  <div class="fn attribution">J Doe</div>
</div>
<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/">(cc)</a>
<a rel="payment" href="http://paypal.com/...">don't let me starve</a>

Strawman example for media

Note the media-info is not even defined yet, this is not even strawman quality.


<div class="media">
  <img class="url attribution mediaitem" src="http://example.com/cake.jpg"/>
  <span class="fn">Picture of a giant cake</span>
  <div class="author vcard">
    <div class="fn attribution">J Doe</div>
  </div>
  <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/">(cc)</a>
  <a rel="payment" href="http://paypal.com/...">don't let me <s>starve</s>eat cake</a>
  <a rel="payment" href="http://artdelivery.example">buy this pic, framed</a>
  <a rel="payment" href="http://photoclearing.example">get commercial rights</a>
  ...
</div>

  • Answer questions above and those not posed
  • Discover and fix gratuitous problems with the above
  • Examples working with media-info


Creative Commons Vocab

Creative Commons has an RDF vocabulary which may be suitable for reuse. Here is an example using the Creative Commons vocab. It goes a long way to meeting all the stated requirements.

<div class="License">
  <a rev="license" href="http://example.org/work">The work</a> is licensed under
  the <a rel="legalcode" href="http://example.org/foo">Foo Licence</a>. 
  Summary: it permits <abbr title="DerivativeWorks" class="permits">derivative
  works</abbr> but requires <abbr title="Attribution" class="requires"
  >attribution</abbr>. The credit to give when reusing the work is "<span 
  class="vcard"><a href="http://tobyinkster.co.uk" class="fn url
  attributionName" rel="attributionURL">Toby Inkster</a></span>".
</div>

The microformat could use the following terms:

  • License {1} (root class name)
    • legalcode ? (rel value, not class)
    • morePermissions * (rel value, not class)
    • permits * ("Reproduction" | "Distribution" | "DerivativeWorks" | "HighIncomeNationUse" | "Sharing")
    • requires * ("CopyrightNotices" | "Attribution" | "ShareAlike" | "SourceCode")
    • prohibits * ("CommercialUse")
    • jurisdiction * (text | hCard | adr)
    • attributionName ?
    • attributionURL ? (rel value, not class)
    • deprecatedOn ? (ISO date)

rel-license SHOULD be used to link from the work to the license (an ID attribute on the license will help). A license MAY link back to the work using rev="license", but forward links are preferred.

As an extension to the creative commons vocabulary (which focuses on open-source-like licenses) a payment URL MAY be linked to using an anchor element simultaneously carrying class="requires" and rel="payment". Example:

<a class="requires" rel="payment" href="https://payment.example.org">buy</a>
