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>

Answer: it's not defined at http://web.resource.org/cc/ but at a child page from there, http://web.resource.org/cc/schema.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?

It turns out that cc:derivativeWork describes a child of the current resource, not a parent, and dc:source describes a parent "reference to a resource from which the present resource is derived" according to Dublin Core.


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."

http://web.resource.org/cc, and see http://web.resource.org/cc/schema.rdf for definition.
