Creative Commons For Objects Embedded in Blogs

Discussion about how to use Creative Commons for objects embedded in a WordPress blog which may have differing licence conditions.

  1. briankelly
    Is it possible to use RDFa to provide a machine-readable statement that an image *doesn't* have a CC licence? ...

    @briankelly you specify in the RDFa what the license is for - so you can license multiple things in a page using about=""

    @patlockley Ta. Am using a WP CC p[lugin and have no control over that. Am identifying requirements which your plugin might address?

    @briankelly The plugin I am building only does the "blog" as an item - not sub parts. You could edit it in HTML view?

    @briankelly Wouldn't batch rely on knowing the rights on the pictures? If you've used pictures without permission that's a separate issue?

    @patlockley Yes, that's the point. CC for text; No-CC by default for images with override for safe images.

    @briankelly so you'll need to assign the CC license for the blog according to that of the image? Or do the image attribution too?

    @patlockley Would like to do this in batch (for clarifying rights when archiving blogs) Want simple interface - not HTML code.

    @patlockley Blog is complex container. Surely it's a policy decision as to default licence to use: all open except .. or all closed except..

    @briankelly depends on content and nature of blog - commercial / non-commercial - lots to consider.

    @patlockley Agreed. Issues of WP.com & WP.org; willingness to take risks; type of content (e.g.screenshots vs commercial images) etc.

    @briankelly I guess you could write it in RDFa easily enough, problem is if agents will read it correctly!

    @briankelly you have to work out the RDFa first. No good if the tools won't read it right. A mistake to label blog or whole post though...

    @jottevanger That's what I'm exploring - can current tools understand such complexity. If not, what is needed.

    @briankelly very interested to hear what you find out. I'm investigating what media metadata formats work for complex pages, similar problem
