CC REL

Creative Commons Rights Expression Language (ccREL) is a specification describing how license information may be described using RDF and how license information may be attached to works.

ccREL is described in ccREL: The Creative Commons Rights Expression Language (pdf), published March 3, 2008. An overview of the vocabulary is available with the namespace description.

ccREL metadata, as encoded using RDFa or XMP, may be embedded in a variety of filetypes. Additional confidence may be added to embedded metadata through the use of web statement.

We have also begun to explore extending ccREL for use by digital copyright registries. See CC Network Development's metadata documentation.

ccREL by Example provides examples of many web deployment scenarios with thorough explanations and is the best place to start if you want a HOWTO or to understand through examples which you can copy and experiment with.
