Luke Hoersten: /* Pages */ updated blog url

I am a Computer Science student at [http://www.purdue.edu/ Purdue University] and I am working on a Creative Commons [http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html Google Summer of Code] project called [[ccBanshee]]. The project, in a nutshell, enables [http://www.banshee-project.org Banshee] users to view, verify, and manipulate license metadata embedded in media. [[ccBanshee]] has also spawned a subproject called [[cc-sharp]]. This project is a C# library to verify Creative Commons license information.

* '''Description:''' The project is to implement a new feature in [[CcPublisher]]. It is a brilliant tool, that tags audio and video files with information about license and uploads them to the Internet Archive. It's practical because the user doesn't need to open a browser and search how to upload stuff. If the user could upload to other sites that use [[CcHost]], even better.

SoC 2006: Banshee

2007-08-09T17:49:57Z

Luke Hoersten: Added current project status

== Current Status ==
=== On Hold ===
This project was completed for Google Summer of Code but was not able to be merged into Banshee until months later. The main tag reading framework in Banshee had moved to Gstreamer which does not support Creative Commons tags. Another Google Summer of Code project this year was able to get a patch to Gstreamer to make this possible. When I have more time, I will try and recreate this plugin and project for Banshee.

== What is it? ==
ccBanshee is a [http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html Google Summer of Code] (SoC) project that enables [http://www.banshee-project.org/ Banshee] users to view, verify, and manipulate license metadata embedded in media files. Verification is the main goal of this project and is explained in greater detail on the [[MP3]] page.

'''This project has ''three parts'' to it:'''
* '''[[cc-sharp]] Library:''' a C# library for '''''verifying''''' Creative Commons license metadata.
* '''[[ccBanshee]] Patch:''' a patch which enables [http://banshee-project.org/ Banshee] to '''''display and store''''' license information in the library.
* '''[http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cctools/banshee-license-verifier-plugin/ License Verifier Plugin]:''' a Banshee plugin which ties [[cc-sharp]] to [[ccBanshee]] using [http://banshee-project.org/Developers/Plugins Banshee's plugin interface].

== How Does it Work? ==

{|
| colspan="2" align="center" valign="bottom"| [[Image:Screenshot-Banshee-Main.png|Valid licenses]]
|-
| colspan="2" align="center"| ''When your songs are imported or played, the license metadata is verified.<br />If the claim is valid, the appropriate logo is displayed to represent the valid license.''

|}

== Where to Get it? ==
=== ccBanshee License Viewing Patch ===
The code is available on the Creative Commons Source Forge Subversion respository for [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cctools/ccbanshee/ browsing] or downloading with this Subversion command:
svn checkout https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cctools/ccbanshee

# Run Banshee.

== Google SoC Roadmap (2006) ==
=== Project start (May 23) ===
==== May 24 ====
* Planning and Design
** Poke around in code and network with other developers
''Notes: I'm in Russia durring this time and do not have adequate computer resources for coding.''

==== June 11 ====
* Lay out [http://www.banshee-project.org/ Banshee] code for initial proof-of-concept code
** Modify database to handle basic license information
** Update library view to show database changes
''Notes: The current state of [http://www.banshee-project.org/ Banshee] will make modifying the database and PlaylistView difficult. The library view is hardcoded and a large amount of time will have to be devoted to designing an acceptable license view addition.''

==== June 18 ====
* Implement [[MP3]] ID3 tag parsing
** Integrate with whatever code already exists in [http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/banshee/entagged-sharp/ entagged-sharp]
** Additions and revisions needed in [http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/banshee/entagged-sharp/ entagged-sharp]
''Notes: Many updates have been made to the way license metadata is storied in the ID3 tags. More attention will be given to updating [http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/banshee/entagged-sharp/ entagged-sharp] to these changes if not already done.''

==== June 25 ====
* Integrate C# CC [[License Wrappers|license wrappers]]
** Add icons to represent each license property

=== Mid-project (June 30) ===
==== July 2 ====
* Add claim validation functionality
** Write necessary network code
** Implement XML parsing of page claim validation

==== July 16 ====
* Add support for other media types such as [[OGG]]

==== July 23 ====
* [http://www.banshee-project.org/ Banshee] plugin abstraction ('''tentative''')
** Modify and update [http://www.banshee-project.org/ Banshee] plugin API to handle database changes and library view access
* Abstract Banshee-ccLicenser to plugin API

=== Project end (August 21) ===

Luke Hoersten: /* What is it? */ Added link to Google Code project page

== What is it? ==
[[cc-sharp]] is a C# library for verifying Creative Commons license metadata. A Google Code project has been set up [http://code.google.com/p/cc-sharp/ here].

== Where to Get it? ==
[[cc-sharp]] is available on the Creative Commons Source Forge Subversion repository for [http://cc-sharp.googlecode.com/svn/ browsing]. You can also use Subversion to check the code out and build it yourself:
svn checkout http://cc-sharp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ cc-sharp

== How to Build it? ==
The project was built as a [http://www.monodevelop.com/ MonoDevelop] solution so to build it from home, you must have MonoDevelop.
# In MonoDevelop, go to file and open the [[cc-sharp]] solution file '''cc-sharp/trunk/cc-sharp.mds'''.

{{incomplete}}

This is just a draft made of ideas to integrate Creative Commons licenses into the Gnome Desktop.
A [http://code.google.com/p/gnome-cc-integration/ software repository] has been created to host all patches and plugins still not accepted in the different projects. If you have any patch or piece of code which it's useful to the integration, send it to me (acidborg@gmail.com) and I'll upload it to the repository (only GPL code accepted).

== Applications aware of CC licenses ==

* [[ Inkscape ]]
* Epiphany (with [[ Epiphany CC Extension ]])
* Firefox (with [[ MozCC ]] plugin)
* Banshee (with [[CcBanshee]]. Waiting for commit of patch: [http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347628 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347628])
* Deskbar applet (with [[Deskbar-Applet CC Search]]). More integration can be achieved when [http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349356 this bug] is solved.
* Please add more applications here :)

== Applications which could easily become aware of CC licenses ==

* Abiword: No bug reported.
* EOG: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349222

* Please add more applications and their bug report page here :)

== Things to be done to improve integration into the Gnome desktop ==

* Send bug reports to applications which could easily become aware of CC licenses. This could be done using [http://bugzilla.gnome.org Bugzilla].
* Send patches to existing Gnome applications to add CC licenses interaction using [http://bugzilla.gnome.org Bugzilla].
* If [http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fshared_2dfilemetadata_2dspec Freedesktop's Metadata Spec] is modified to include a "license" field in first class objects specification, [http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Tracker Tracker] could be used to look for CC licensed files within the desktop. This could be done using [http://raphael.slinckx.net/deskbar/ Deskbar-applet] as front-end.

ccBanshee is a [http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html Google Summer of Code] (SoC) project that enables [http://www.banshee-project.org/ Banshee] users to view, verify, and manipulate license metadata embedded in media files. Verification is the main goal of this project and is explained in greater detail on the [[MP3]] page.

'''This project has ''three parts'' to it:'''
* [[cc-sharp]] - a C# library for '''''verifying''''' Creative Commons license metadata.
* [[ccBanshee]] - a patch which enables [http://banshee-project.org/ Banshee] to '''''display and store''''' license information in the library.
* [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cctools/banshee-license-verifier-plugin/ banshee-license-verifier-plugin] - a Banshee plugin which ties [[cc-sharp]] to [[ccBanshee]] using [http://banshee-project.org/Developers/Plugins Banshee's plugin interface].

ccBanshee is a [http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html Google Summer of Code] (SoC) project that enables [http://www.banshee-project.org/ Banshee] users to view, verify, and manipulate license metadata embedded in media files. Verification is the main goal of this project and is explained in greater detail on the [[MP3]] page.

== How Does it Work? ==

| colspan="2" align="center" valign="bottom"| [[Image:Screenshot-Banshee-Main.png|Valid licenses]]
|-
| colspan="2" align="center"| ''When your songs are imported or played, the license metadata is verified.<br />If the claim is valid, the appropriate logo is displayed to represent the valid license.''

|}

== Where to Get it? ==
The code can be obtained from the Creative Commons Source Forge Subversion respository [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cctools/ccbanshee/ ccBanshee].

== How to Run it? ==
# Backup your Banshee music database ('''~/.gnome2/banshee/banshee.db''').
# Copy everything from '''ccbanshee/trunk/''' to your '''banshee/''' CVS directory.
# Make and install Banshee CVS.
# Copy '''ccbanshee/trunk/cc-sharp/cc-sharp.dll''' to '''/usr/lib/banshee/''' or wherever your Banshee CVS install is.
# Run Banshee.

'''This is a developer-oriented document. Read our [[Embedded Metadata|non-technical account with explanatory comics]] first.'''

This document describes how to apply [[Nonweb Tagging|our non-web content guidelines]] to MP3s.

MP3 embedded metadata is placed in [http://id3.org ID3] frames. Two of these will be used for embedding Creative Commons license claim metadata:

'''WCOP''' (Copyright/Legal information) should include the license URL. For example, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/.

'''WOAF''' (Official audio file webpage) should include the URL where the work metadata, including verification information, may be found. See [[Nonweb Tagging]] for information on verification metadata.

Historically a single field, TCOP, has been used for both purposes. New applications may support the TCOP method for compatibility, but WCOP/WOAF are preferred for clarity.

'''TCOP''' (Copyright Text) should include a human-readable license and license claim information. The contents of this frame are displayed by many programs in a "file info" window. Example value: <code>1995 Example Band. Licensed to the public under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ verify at http://example.com/cclicenses.html</code>

If "verify at" exists in TCOP, everything after it must be the metadata URL and the preceding link must be the license URL.

== Tools ==

[http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/software/ ccLookup and Publisher] offer GUI tools for MP3 license claimn embedding and verification metadata generation. Available for Linux, OS X, and Windows.

[http://dmusic.com DMusic] tags uploaded MP3s and publishes metadata per the above guidelines for tracks that participating artists have released under a Creative Commons license.

Luke Hoersten: renamed project to ccBanshee

== What is it? ==
ccBanshee is a [http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html Google Summer of Code] (SoC) project that enables [http://www.banshee-project.org/ Banshee] users to view, validate, and manipulate license metadata which is embedded in media files.

== Google SoC Timeline (2006) ==
=== Project start (May 23) ===
==== May 24 ====
* Planning and Design
** Poke around in code and network with other developers
''Notes: I'm in Russia durring this time and do not have adequate computer resources for coding.''

==== June 11 ====
* Lay out [http://www.banshee-project.org/ Banshee] code for initial proof-of-concept code
** Modify database to handle basic license information
** Update library view to show database changes
''Notes: The current state of [http://www.banshee-project.org/ Banshee] will make modifying the database and PlaylistView difficult. The library view is hardcoded and a large amount of time will have to be devoted to designing an acceptable license view addition.''

==== June 18 ====
* Implement [[MP3]] ID3 tag parsing
** Integrate with whatever code already exists in [http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/banshee/entagged-sharp/ entagged-sharp]
** Additions and revisions needed in [http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/banshee/entagged-sharp/ entagged-sharp]
''Notes: Many updates have been made to the way license metadata is storied in the ID3 tags. More attention will be given to updating [http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/banshee/entagged-sharp/ entagged-sharp] to these changes if not already done.''

==== June 25 ====
* Integrate C# CC [[License Wrappers|license wrappers]]
** Add icons to represent each license property

=== Mid-project (June 30) ===
==== July 2 ====
* Add claim validation functionality
** Write necessary network code
** Implement XML parsing of page claim validation

==== July 16 ====
* [http://www.banshee-project.org/ Banshee] plugin abstraction ('''tentative''')
** Modify and update [http://www.banshee-project.org/ Banshee] plugin API to handle database and library view access
* Abstract Banshee-ccLicenser to plugin API

=== Project end (August 21) ===

== Developers ==
* [[User:Luke Hoersten|Luke Hoersten]] - Student developer
