Goals and Desired Outcome: {{Infobox|The new validator is now online at http://validator.creativecommons.org}} {{Infobox|'''Work in progress''' A proposal based on this idea has been accepted for [http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ Google Summer of Code™ 2008] and the project is currently a work in progress. Read more about it on its [[Rewrite Metadata Validator/SoC 2008|dedicated page]].}} Creative Commons historically ran a [http://validator.creativecommons.org metadata validator] (also developed in response to a challenge) which allowed users to verify they had made the correct assertions about their work. Since moving to [[RDFa]], the validator has become less relevant and is in need of a major overhaul (perhaps even rewrite). A minimal implementation will: * support all recommended methods, historical and current, of embedding CC license information in a web page (see the [[HTML|file format page]] for more information) * alert users that embedding using historical methods has been deprecated * support making assertions about embedded objects An awesome implementation will: * support validating CC license inclusion in non-HTML formats (ie, [[Syndication]] feeds), auto-detecting the validation suite to use basic on returned content-type and allowing users to override if necessary * traverse special links (ie, [[CcPlus|cc:morePermissions]], [[ccREL|cc:attributionURL]], [[Web Statement|xmpRights:WebStatement]]) looking for additional metadata to provide a complete picture of the published metadata.
