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.

FWIW the schema is also embedded in a comment at <http://web.resource.org/cc>.

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.

I don't know why cc:derivativeWork was created. AFAIK it is unused. Unless someone has a compelling argument for using cc:derivativeWork I'd suggest sticking to dc:source, as you have in the CC SMIL draft. Aaron Swartz may have some insight.
