LRMI doesn't adequately address all of the needs of courses or curricula publishers. It is great for learning objects, or loosely coupled groupings of them, but not good with making structured groupings.

When you select a license from the [http://creativecommons.org/license Creative Commons License Chooser], you're provided with HTML to place in your page. That HTML contains [[ccREL|metadata]] which allows software to understand that you've applied a license to your work.

== What is metadata? ==

'''Metadata''' is data about data. For example: title, creator, and licensing information. When you [http://creativecommons.org/license/ choose a license] on our website, you get back some metadata (licensing information) encoded in RDF.

== What is RDF? ==

'''RDF''' (Resource Description Framework) is a framework for metadata. The basic structure of RDF is very simple. There are three parts:

* the subject: a thing, identified by its URL
* the predicate: the type of metadata (like title or creator), also identified by a URL
* the object: the value of this type of metadata (like "The Story of My Life" or 'a person named "John Q. Public"')

Together, these make RDF statements, which are expressed in a language called RDF/XML.

== What is the Semantic Web? ==

The '''Semantic Web''' is the part of the Web available in RDF. The idea behind the concept of the Semantic Web is that when enough pages carry this machine-processable metadata, developers can build tools that take advantage of it.

Among other things, RDF helps different programs talk to each other, reducing the need for users to copy information by hand. Imagine a world where everything had embedded RDF: When buying a plane ticket, for example, you could drag your flight itinerary onto your calendar program to add it to your calendar. You could drag a friend's top-ten songs list onto your music player, and it could try and obtain the songs for you automatically.

RDF can also be used to create more powerful search engines. Right now the only type of question you can ask a search engine is "What pages have these words in them?" When pages include RDF metadata, you will be able to ask more advanced questions like "What's the current temperature in California?" Programs can also use this information, like an alarm clock program that also displayed the current weather or a collage-making program that only used photos with permission.

Finally, metadata can be aggregated across the whole Web. A program could download all the top-ten song lists and, with the help of a pricing guide in RDF, calculate the cost of buying the most popular albums.

Metadata holds a lot of promise, but it won't be useful until people start adding it to their pages. Creative Commons hopes to help promote metadata by making it very easy for people to add metadata to their pages.

== Why we have Creative Commons Metadata ==

In addition to making it easy for people to find the copyright licenses best for them, Creative Commons is working to provide simple RDF descriptions of these licenses. These descriptions will put the important points of the license in a way that makes it easy for machines to process and work from. Unlike Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology, which tries to restrict use of digital works, Creative Commons is providing ways to encourage permitted sharing and reuse of works.

If you run a search engine, you might use license metadata to highlight public domain and generously-licensed works. If you write a public file sharing server, you might offer to search the user's hard drive for works that allow distribution. If you write a magazine, you might use a CC-enabled search engine to find pictures of candy bars that you can legally include.

By standardizing a way to describe this information and providing large quantities of RDF to build on, we hope to encourage new and innovative ways to develop the commons. Of course, this metadata only provides a first approximation of the license, for information use. Users are encouraged to read the full license to make sure it meets their expectations.

== CC REL Describes Creative Commons Metadata ==

Creative Commons metadata is described by the [[ccREL|Creative Commons Rights Expression Language]] (CC REL). You can also find information on specific [[:Category:Filetype|filetypes]] for embedding and reading metadata.

LRMI/Implementation

Greg Grossmeier: /* Mappings */ added MERLOT

= LRMI Implementation =

Creative Commons is funded to work with up to 10 OER platforms and registries to implement LRMI metadata. The goal is not only to get 10 quality implementations ready but also to develop a suite of best practices for others wishing to do the implementation themselves.

The main deliverables will be documented on this page, including mappings, sample data, white papers, and how-to guides.

== Mappings ==

Mappings are created to "map" the LRMI specification to the currently in-use metadata schema on each platform or registry. This enables the platform to do an automatic conversion to LRMI without the need of much human intervention.

Mappings currently available:

'''CC0''' is the "no rights reserved" in Creative Commons licensing - it effectively means releasing your work as [[public domain]].

CC0 is a single purpose tool, designed to take on the dedication function of the former [[Public Domain Dedication and Certification]].

How effectively this works may depend on your legal regime, but the tool is intended to effectively release rights even in legal contexts where this is difficult.

Note that CC0 is a three-tier instrument. We recognize that a waiver may not be effective in most jurisdictions, and CC0's enforceability is not solely dependent on the waiver. The fall back public license is similar to our Attribution-only license with the attribution requirement waived. The BY license is enforceable around the world -- this public license tier is in some ways the core of CC0. The third and final tier is a non assertion by the copyright holder that even if the waiver and license do not operate as intended, the copyright holder will not take any actions that prevents a user of the work from exercising rights consistent with the intention of the copyright holder.

'''CC+''' is '''CC license''' + '''Another agreement'''.

It is '''NOT''' a new license, but a facilitation of '''morePermissions''' beyond '''ANY''' standard CC licenses.

If you want to adopt CC+, please '''(1)''' implement [[#Easy_CC.2B_Markups|CC+ simple technology]] on your site, '''(2)''' [[#Adopters|add your project/company name]], and '''(3)''' [http://creativecommons.org/contact let us know!]
|}}

== Simple Explanation ==

The basic concept is to have a Creative Commons license + some other agreement which provides morePermissions.

[[Image:Cc-by-nc-3.0-88x31.png]] + [[Image:Commercial-license-button.png]]


NOTE: Above, the CC license should link to the human deed and the generic commercial license would link to a place to get a commercial license for a work. The COMMERCIAL LICENSE is generic and should be tailored for specific uses with specific names of copyright holders.



[http://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/b/b4/Commercial-license-button.svg Here is the SVG (vector graphic)] to the generic button if you would like to construct a commercial licensing button for your usage. The button is [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en released into the public domain].


== Summary ==

CC+ is a protocol providing a simple way for users to get rights
beyond the rights granted by a CC license. For example, a work's Creative
Commons license might offer noncommercial rights. With CC+, the
license can also provide a link by which a user might secure rights beyond noncommercial
rights -- most obviously commercial rights, but also additional permissions or
services such as warranty, permission to use without attribution, or even access to performance or physical media.

The CC+ architecture gives businesses a simple way to move
between the sharing and commercial economies. CC+ provides a
lightweight standard around these best practices and is available for
implementation immediately.

==Solvable Problems==

Creative Commons has solved this with Creative Commons licensing. Creative Commons has this one locked down. Rely on CC.

Please note: the additional CC+ section in the deed will appear only if the document you're clicking to the deed from is accessible on the public Internet.

== Use Cases ==

* Restrict commercial use with a CC license with the NonCommercial condition, and then use a separate agreement with some party (could be yourself or third-party) to broker commercial rights (licensing, sales, reproduction, etc).
* Require that adaptions are shared with a CC license with the ShareAlike condition, but offer a separate agreement (as above) for parties that do not want to release derivatives under the same license. Similar use cases for offering a private agreement for parties that wish to avoid fulfilling the Attribution or NoDerivatives properties of applicable CC licenses.
* Offer a private agreement for parties that require one (eg for institutional policy or insurance reasons), even if their use would be within the scope of the public license grant.
* To implement some type of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Performer_Protocol Street Performer Protocol] system to put works to the public domain or into another license, preferably more free and in the community interest.

== FAQ ==

=== What is a simple way of explaining CC+? ===

CC+ is just what it sounds like, a Creative Commons license plus another agreement. A copyright holder might pair a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license [CC] with a non-exclusive commercial agreement [+] enabling a company to license the work commercially for a fee.

=== Isn't CC+ just a technological facilitation of dual licensing? ===

Yes. A copyright holder who uses a Creative Commons license is already adding a license on top of their copyright. CC+ can make it easier for that copyright-holder to add other non-exclusive licenses/agreements as alternatives.

|Description=The Secretary of Education announces priorities and definitions to be used for any appropriate discretionary grant program in fiscal year (FY) 2011 and future years. We take this action to focus Federal financial assistance on expanding the number of Department programs and projects that support activities in areas of greatest educational need. We are establishing these priorities on a Department-wide basis. This action permits the Department to use, as appropriate for particular discretionary grant programs, one or more of these priorities in any discretionary grant competition. We also announce definitions of key terms used in these priorities.

Projects that are designed to significantly increase efficiency in the use of time, staff, money, or other resources in order to improve results and increase productivity. Such projects may include innovative and sustainable uses of technology, modification of school schedules and teacher compensation systems, and use of open educational resources (as defined in this notice), or other strategies.

Open educational resources (OER) means teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use or repurposing by others.
