Thanks!  I think I understand that bit now.

Again, thanks, very helpful.

I did click, and that brought up five additional fields.
I filled those in, and generated a license template
which then had some additional RDFa(?) tags.
Some of those were  in the Dublin  Core namespace (dc:) -
I won't bother you with those. But I also got the following
two tags in the Creative Commons (cc:) namespace:

<a xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#";
   href="http://example.url/";
   property="cc:attributionName"
   rel="cc:attributionURL">Gisle Hannemyr
</a>

<a xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#";
   href="http://morepermissions.url/";
   rel="cc:morePermissions">http://morepermissions.url/
</a>

The three values of the "property" and "rel" attributes
contained in those tags were:
   - attributionName
   - attributionURL
   - morePermissions

The cc namespace is declared as follow:
  xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#";

Now, looking at the embedded RDF-in-HTML-comment found at this address
(and also at: http://creativecommons.org/schema.rdf ), I would
expect to see the same three values (attributionName, attributionURL
and morePermissions) properly defined.  But I can't find these
definitions.  Is there something I've overlooked?

PS. The reason I am asking all these questions (apart from that
    I want to understand this), is that I am in charge of writing
    a CC tutorial in Norwegian (I too think that somebody more
    qualified should do this, but so far, I'm the only one that
    volunteered).  If any of you read Norwegian and want to look
    at this work in progress, the URL is:
        http://www.creativecommons.no/omcc.shtml
    The metadata bit is at the end.
