Dear all,

I was just made aware that in the license chooser, when a user enters
a URL to attribute the work to, this is stored in different properties
in the XMP and RDFa formats. In XMP, it's stored in
xapRights:WebStatement and in RDFa it's stored in cc:attributionURL. I
understand the difference between the two, but it's not clear to me
why there is a difference between how the information from the license
chooser is encoded in the various formats.

It seems to me that there ought to be a separate field that allows a
user to specify a WebStatement, and that the URL to attribute the work
to should be encoded in the cc:attributionURL regardless of what
format is used.

Any thoughts?


Sincerely,
Jonas
