Developer discussion for Creative Commons technology and tools

[Wendy J Bossons <wbossons AT MIT.EDU>]

Thank you John for the information . . . a further request for feedback is the choice of rdfa for the content in the MIT repository. 

I read the CCRel document by Hal Abelson, et al., I came up with the solution below for embedding RDFa . . . the example is for a by license.

I'm primarily interested in some feedback about the form of the RDFa . . . In the below, the subject is about="http://hdl.handle.net . . .",  the property is rel="license" and the value is the href="http://creativecommons.org....".  

<div about=”http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/3”>

<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/3.0/us/88x31.png"/></a>

Hi Wendy,

There are currently no API methods that deal with the license badges solely, but I think I have a straightforward suggestion for you.

Here are the URLS to all of the images...
http://i.creativecommons.org/l/%license-code%/3.0/88x31.png
http://i.creativecommons.org/l/zero/1.0/88x31.png
http://i.creativecommons.org/l/publicdomain/88x31.png

By iterating over the list of license codes you can generate the URL for each license. CC0 and Public Domain will be edge cases however, and will need to be hard codes in your repository.

Note that you can replace "88x31" with "80x15" in any of the above URLs for a slimmer, smaller icon.

As for a page discussing each license in detail: http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/.

Regards,
John Doig

Hello,

I recently integrated the CC license api into our repository. In order for the project to be completed, I want to add an image to the subject page that represents Creative Commons -- a nice non-specific license image which will have a url pointing at the creative commons site page where the license type is described. My other option is to programmatically derive the image for each license type. Regarding the latter, is there a pattern/algorithm to follow to build the image url?

Thanks!
