I think that there was discussion a while back of having a link[@rel="license"] element in the head of an HTML document. Is that right? Am I remembering the syntax correctly?

link[@rel="meta"] is well established and deployed for many uses besides CC, and works great if you can accomodate metadata in a separate file, see http://wikitravel for example.

I don't think it's ever been discussed here, but I notice that Wikitravel uses link[@rel="copyright"] in the manner I think you want. Hmm.

To see what I'm trying to accomplish, check out this thread on cc-mixter:
http://ccmixter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=2&showtopic=87&lastpost=true

What I want to do is have the screen scraper on Webjay pick up metadata for songs on CC-Mixter (and elsewhere). The simplest way to do this is to fetch metadata from CC RDF.

So let's say there's an input page:
http://ccmixter.org/tags/scratching

And a processor:
http://webjay.org/playthispage?url=http://ccmixter.org/tags/scratching

...the output should have the artist name and whatnot as they were in the RDF.

What was discussed here nearly a year ago is using a dc.rights meta tag, see <https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/cc-metadata/2003-December/000245.html>.

Ah, yes. Thanks.
