some detailed questions about CC RDF

I'm working on CC SMIL metadata and looking at the documentation at 
http://creativecommons.org/technology/developerdocs.

In this example, I need to know what the namespace of "Work" is:
<rdf:RDF xmlns="http://web.resource.org/cc/"
     xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
     xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
<Work rdf:about="">
<license rdf:resource="{license_url}" />
</Work>
</rdf:RDF>

In the explanatory text below that there is this --
"dc:source, cc:derivativeWork
     A Work that the resource was derived from."

What's the difference between dc:source and cc:derivativeWork?

In this item on the same page, it's not clear what the namespace for 
"cc:" elements is:
"cc:license
     A copyright license for the resource, a structured cc:License. If 
there are two cc:licenses, then the licensee gets to pick which to use."

Thanks.
