DiscoverEd

Mattman:

DiscoverEd is a search prototype developed by Creative Commons to explore metadata enhanced search, specifically for OER. While most search engines rely solely on algorithmic analyses of resources, DiscoverEd can incorporate [[DiscoverEd Data|data provided by the resource publisher or curator]]. DiscoverEd supports several common metadata formats, including OAI-PMH and RDFa. The use of these formats allows otherwise unrelated educational projects,[http://sandiegocourtreporting.com legal], and repositories to express facts about their resources in the a way that tools (like DiscoverEd) can use for purposes like search and discovery. DiscoverEd is a project that allows us to explore ways to improve search for OER, and simultaneously demonstrate the utility of structured data. DiscoverEd is built on [http://lucene.apache.org/nutch/ Nutch].

Creative Commons used to maintain an experimental instance of DiscoverEd at discovered.labs.creativecommons.org, but in an effort to focus resources and expertise on areas that will have maximum impact, CC [http://labs.creativecommons.org/2011/04/11/the-future-of-discovered/ discontined development] of the project.

__NOTOC__
<div style="font-size:125%; line-height:1.75em; margin-bottom:1.75em;"><strong>Integrating Creative Commons License Information:</strong> One of the most useful attributes of using Creative Commons licenses is the quality metadata standards that can be used to both mark and identify CC [http://dallasreporting.com licensed] work. This can be anything from simply adding the ability for a media player to show the license information of a song to a full-fledge, RDFa using, semantic-web promoting web application for people to upload, share, and remix content.
<br />
Creative Commons is devoted to making it easy for developers to add license metadata functionality to all types of applications. Our tools are divided into two areas; Desktop and the Web.
</div>

<div style="padding:1.25em 1em; margin-left:-1em; margin-right:-1em; -moz-border-radius:5px; -webkit-border-radius:5px; background-color: #eaeaea; overflow: auto;">
{{PageColumn|
== [[Desktop Integration]] ==
Much of the functionality that is needed to integrate CC license information with desktop applications is available in the [[liblicense]] package. There is also [[License tagger|License Tagger]] which is a small proof of concept application written in python that utilizes [[liblicense]] to embed license metadata information into files. For more information see the main [[Desktop Integration]] page.
}}
{{PageColumn|
== [[Web Integration]] ==
Creative Commons has developed [[LicenseChooser.js]] which provides a lightweight method for integrating [http://bostoncourtreporting.com license] selection into web applications. It does this by utilizing such technologies as [[RDFa]]. Additionally, Creative Commons has also developed a [[Web Services]] interface that can be used to enable license selection in online services. For more information, see the main [[Web Integration]] page.

Open Policy Network

2013-09-15T15:05:07Z

Mattman:

As of 2 April 2013.

'''''Open Policy Network: Ensuring open access to publicly funded resources''
'''
== Overview ==

In 2011-2012, Creative Commons (CC) and other open organizations were contacted by multiple institutions and governments seeking assistance to develop materials and strategies for open policies. The need for open policy support was amplified at the CC 2011 Global Summit in Warsaw, Poland. CC Affiliates from 35 countries called for a central hub where open policies could be shared and discussed. They were clear: without clearly defined support, open policies are significantly less likely to be introduced and adopted. In October 2012 Creative Commons continued this exploration by convening a meeting of “open” leaders to brainstorm possibilities and challenges in developing resources and services to increase open policies.

As open advocates, organizations and policy makers recognize the potential for open policies to significantly increase the amount and quality of publicly funded education, research, data, and software, there is a pressing need to provide them support so they can successfully create, adopt and implement open policies. Open policies promote open licensing of resources financed through public funding in order to maximize the impact of the investment.

:Open Policy = publicly funded resources are openly licensed resources.

If we are going to unleash the power of hundreds of billions of dollars of publicly funded education, research, data, and software, we need broad adoption of open policies. For the purposes of open policies that contribute to the public good, we define policy broadly as legislation, institutional policies, and/or funder mandates.

We have observed that current open policy efforts are decentralized, uncoordinated and insular; there is poor and/or sporadic information sharing. There are at least two major barriers that have prevented broad open policy adoption. (1) There is limited support for open policy advocates, organizations and policy makers who want to create, adopt and implement open policies. (2) Existing policy makers need help in articulating and messaging how open policies can increase the impact of public investments.

The open community needs access to existing open policies, legislation, and action plans for how open policies were created, discussed and passed. Advocates need to know what barriers were encountered and how they were overcome, and because politics and opportunities are local, open advocates may need support customizing an open policy solution and strategy.

If we get this simple idea right, open sustainability could cease to be an issue because: (a) there is plenty of public funding to build and maintain all of the education, research, data, and software the world needs, and (b) “open” becomes the default and “closed” becomes the exception for publicly funded resources.

== Description and rationale ==

Open policies promote access to, and open licensing of, resources financed through public funding. Open policies can maximize the impact of public investments in science, data, education, libraries, archives, museums, software and other resources through the efficient use and reuse of resources for the public good.

The Open Policy Network (OPN) supports the creation, adoption and implementation of open policies around the world. It does this by:

* mapping the open policy space across open sectors;
* identifying open policy gaps and opportunities within and across sectors;
* communicating the social and economic value of open policy;
* networking together those trying to develop open policies with organizations, communities and individuals who have open policy expertise; and
* curating case studies and open policy exemplars for others to use or adapt.

In addition to supporting the creation, adoption and implementation of open policies, it is equally as important to support the updating of existing policy frameworks, so open policies can be effective and long-lasting. Existing policies need to be reviewed and modified as needed to support the implementation of open policies. For example, an open policy that leads to the creation of new open textbooks is less impactful if textbook procurement policies do not allow schools to adopt open textbooks.

Open policy advocates need to present a coordinated case to policymakers that 21st century legal and technical tools can be used to significantly improve the effectiveness of investments in publicly funded resources. The global reach and increasing speed and bandwidth of the Internet; the decreasing cost of hardware and near zero costs of digital storage, copying and distribution; open licensing, and the popularity of mobile devices is making accessibility to digital content universally possible. When policy makers understand the power of open policies, they can avoid the lock-in of stale frameworks and existing financial models, so they can maximize the positive societal impact of publicly funded resources.

== Mission ==

The mission of the Open Policy Network is to foster the creation, adoption and implementation of open policies and practices that advance the public good by supporting open policy advocates, organizations and policy makers, connecting open policy opportunities with assistance, and sharing open policy information.

== Guiding principles ==

* The adoption of open policies can maximize the return on public investments and promote a global commons of resources for innovative reuse.
* Publicly funded resources should be openly licensed resources.
* Open policies should require, as a default, licenses compliant with the [http://opendefinition.org/okd/ Open Definition], with a preference for open licenses that at most require attribution to the author (such as [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ CC BY]) for publicly funded content and no rights reserved (such as [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ CC0]) for publicly funded data. OPN recognizes there may be limited exceptions to the default.
* The OPN is a open network free for anyone to join as long as they agree to contribute and abide by the mission and guiding principles.
* The OPN work is aligned with the recommendations of:
** [http://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/openaccess/boai-10-recommendations Budapest Open Access Initiative: 10 Years On]
** [http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/HQ/CI/CI/pdf/Events/Paris%20OER%20Declaration_01.pdf Paris Open Educational Resources Declaration]

** [http://pantonprinciples.org/ Panton Principles]
** [http://infojustice.org/washington-declaration-html Washington Declaration on Intellectual Property and the Public Interest]

== Operational Work Plan ==

OPN will:
* Connect policy makers and other interested parties to expert open policy advocates and organizations who are able to provide assistance and support when open policy opportunities arise.
* Identify and build new open policy resources and/or services only where capacity and expertise does not currently exist, by providing needed resources, information and advice.
* Provide a baseline level of assistance for open policy opportunities as they arise, to ensure no open policy opportunity goes unfulfilled.
* Link to, catalog and curate existing and new open policies and open policy resources from around the world.
* Connect open policy advocates and organizations on a listserv and monthly phone conference to maximize knowledge transfer and cooperation.
* Build new constituencies and advocates in support of open policies.
* Operate in a manner respectful of member organizations’ existing messaging, communities and business models.
* Release all content produced by the OPN under CC BY and data under CC0, in a fully transparent manner on the OPN web site.
* Release all content produced by the OPN, including the OPN website, under multiple languages.
[[File:OPN_Opportunity_Request_Workflow.jpg|800px]]

== Governance ==

The OPN is comprised of expert individuals, organizations and potentially companies who support the OPN’s mission and guiding principles.

Option 1 - Loose coalition
* This would be the most nimble framework. Essentially a free-to-join coalition with a listserv and monthly conference calls. Members could choose whether or not to be listed on the OPN website (with relevant contact information). This would primarily be a networking and information sharing structure, and discussion and decisions about the OPN (e.g., funding or mission change) would be made through the listserv and a monthly conference call. One person or organization would be responsible for maintaining a minimal website, open listserv, monthly calls, and routing any unsolicited requests for policy assistance to the appropriate member of the OPN.
* + paid secretariat option

Option 2 - Rotating council
* This framework would include most of the activities in Option 1, except a 5-person rotating council, with input from OPN members, would make administrative decisions. The council would provide leadership in directing open policy inquiries, prioritizing OPN activities, assist with fundraising, and setting the agenda for monthly calls. Any OPN member may nominate her/himself or another OPN member to be on the council. Council members will be voted onto the council by OPN members. The council membership would rotate every year with an annual election. Each newly elected council would elect its chair who would serve for a 1-year term. If organizations directly responsible for maintaining the OPN [http://www.247choppers.co.uk website], open listserv, monthly calls, and/or OPN fundraising are not members of the [http://losangelescourtreporting.com council], those organizations may choose to have ex-officio seats on the council to keep the council informed of those key activities.
* + paid secretariat option

Paid secretariat option (defined)
* This would be the most formal framework and could contain provisions from both Options 1 and/or 2. The secretariat would be a part- or full-time person responsible for most of the administrative duties, and routing of inquiries to relevant [http://houstonreporting.com groups] at the direction of the council. The secretariat could also be tasked with seeking additional funding, developing a research agenda, managing OPN fellows, or other tasks as directed by the council. This option will require immediate funding considerations.

== Work Product: OPN services and resources ==

Short-term:
* Setup website, listserv, monthly phone call
** Register domain name (in process), create logo
* Secure funding to support OPN activities determined by [insert governance structure]
* Advertise through OPN member websites, email listservs, and conferences
* Develop model open policies and bills
* Develop open policy implementation kits with slides and talking points
* Provide as-needed consulting / mentoring / networking
** establish pool of expertise across OPN organizations to support:
*** updating of existing policy frameworks
*** communication on impact and value of open policy
*** creation, adoption and implementation of open policies
*** customization of open policy solutions and strategies
* Finding, curating and posting existing open policies / laws
**link out to existing open policy sites (e.g., ROARMAP and OER Policy Registry)

Medium-term:
* Messaging: media / public relations work
* Teach key policy stakeholders about open policies through webinars, keynotes, editorials, conference presentations and School of Open classes
* Research: evaluating existing open policies and writing open policy briefs
** identify open policy gaps and opportunities within and across countries and sectors
** provide support for development of new open policy resources
** support global adoption and implementation including translation and localization of resources
* OPN fellows program and/or graduate student researchers
* OPN meetings / convenings for policy makers
* Ongoing recruitment of experts and leaders to join the efforts around open policy, especially in key areas such as OER.

== Funding ==

CC has allocated a small amount of staff time and resources to support the launch phase of the OPN, but more resources will be needed for the OPN to thrive. CC is willing to help explore additional funding, and can act as fiscal agent if useful. Alternatively, CC is happy to partner with other organizations interested in helping to secure funding and managing finances for the OPN.

OPN members / council will also need to discuss how to address advocacy and grassroots / direct lobbying especially with regard to funding restrictions from foundations. It might be helpful to have a pool of unrestricted funds that could be used for lobbying should such an open policy opportunity arise. This should be discussed in detail given the sensitive nature of the topic.

4.0

2013-09-15T14:53:21Z

Mattman:

CC has embarked upon a versioning process for its core license suite, which will result in version 4.0. The first public discussions of 4.0 were held at CC's [[Global Summit 2011]]. The public process was kicked off with a [http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/29639?utm_campaign=newsletter_1111&utm_medium=blog&utm_source=newsletter blog post] laying out some of the key reasons for pursuing 4.0 at this time.

Since CC's launch in 2002, it has versioned its core license suite [[license versions|three times]], the last ([[Version 3|3.0]]) in early 2007. CC licenses constitute a [http://creativecommons.org/who-uses-cc globally-recognized framework], developed in consultation with [http://courtreportingagency.com legal experts] and CC affiliate institutions in [[CC_Affiliate_Network|over 70 jurisdictions]]. Over 500 million CC-licensed works have been published by their authors on the Internet. Today, Creative Commons licenses, public domain tools, and supporting technologies are the global standard for sharing across culture, education, government, science, and more.

Version 4.0 is a tremendous opportunity to ensure the license suite is ideally crafted to further CC's [http://creativecommons.org/about vision and mission] over the next decades. Please participate in this important discussion.

=== Goals and objectives ===

Creative Commons staff, board, and community have identified several goals for the next version of its core license suite, tied to achieving CC's goal and mission. These include:

:: ''Internationalization'' – further adapt the core suite of international licenses to operate globally, ensuring they are robust, enforceable and easily adopted worldwide;

:: ''Interoperability'' – maximize interoperability between CC licenses and other licenses to reduce friction within the commons, promote standards and stem license proliferation;

:: ''Long-lasting'' — anticipate new and changing adoption opportunities and legal challenges, allowing the new suite of licenses to endure for the foreseeable future;

:: ''Data/PSI/Science/Education'' — recognize and address impediments to adoption of CC by [http://www.teamlaw.com governments] as well as other important, publicly-minded institutions in these and other critical arenas; and

:: ''Supporting Existing Adoption Models and Frameworks'' – remain mindful of and accommodate the needs of our existing community of adopters leveraging pre-4.0 licenses, including governments but also other important constituencies.

=== Organization and purpose of this wiki ===

This wiki is the central location for documenting key discussion topics and suggestions for improving the license suite in version 4.0, together with supporting information and relevant links[http://double-oven-reviews.com/ .] It is intended to supplement, not replace, the CC license discuss email list [http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-licenses (subscribe)] that will serve as the main discussion forum for the versioning process just as it has with prior versioning efforts.

CC has prepared pages on key topics identified to date. We ask contributors to be thoughtful about placement of additional and related topics, as well as the creation of new pages altogether. Before starting a new page, consider posting the suggestion to the [[4.0/Sandbox|Sandbox]]. We would also prefer that contributors use their real names when editing the wiki.

=== Process ===

As a license steward and steward of the commons, our goal for the process is to ensure utmost transparency and inclusiveness. The 4.0 process is being conducted in line with our prior versioning efforts, with periodic publication of license drafts for public comment and documentation of issue resolution as that occurs[http://becoming-a-psychiatrist.org/ .] One important difference from our past efforts, however, was a formal requirements gathering period that ran for a period of time prior to publication of the first draft. During this period, we strongly encouraged the broadest participation possible by everyone with an interest in the commons and the role open licensing plays in its future.

The primary discussion forum for issues relating to the 4.0 versioning process will be the CC license discuss email list. Please [http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-licenses subscribe] and add your voice to this important effort.

=== Draft timeline ===
The dates noted below are approximate and subject to change. The number of drafts and public comment periods may vary depending on the number and type of issues raised and how they are resolved, among other things. Watch this page for updates, including major events such as affiliate regional meetings where 4.0 discussions will take place.

Various aspects of the license suite are being improved in the version 4.0 licenses. We are gathering and rigorously debating and analyzing these items, and corresponding proposals for handling them, in version 4.0. We encourage the broadest possible engagement in this process. This was a particularly important goal during the requirements gathering stage where everyone was strongly encouraged (and our affiliates expected) to provide feedback on proposed changes and suggest other changes they would like to see. You may add, improve, and discuss specific items in the pages linked below.

'''If you do not find a suitable existing page and category for an item you would like to propose or discuss, please add it to the [[4.0/Sandbox]] where suggestions for new pages will be aggregated.'''

Finally, we encourage contributors to take the time to review [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/License_Versions prior versioning efforts], including relevant discussions of important topics previously debated by the CC community and discussions related to their resolution. Being aware of and taking those into account is important to an effective and efficient process, particularly where a request is made to revisit and potentially change direction in 4.0.

4.0

2013-09-02T16:06:52Z

Mattman:

CC is embarking on a versioning process for its core license suite, which we expect will result in version 4.0. The first public discussions of 4.0 were held at CC's [[Global Summit 2011]]. The public process was kicked off with a [http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/29639?utm_campaign=newsletter_1111&utm_medium=blog&utm_source=newsletter blog post] laying out some of the key reasons for pursuing 4.0 at this time.

Since CC's launch in 2002, it has versioned its core license suite [[license versions|three times]], the last ([[Version 3|3.0]]) in early 2007. CC licenses constitute a [http://creativecommons.org/who-uses-cc globally-recognized framework], developed in consultation with legal experts and CC affiliate institutions in [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC_Affiliate_Network over 70 jurisdictions]. Over 500 million CC-licensed works have been published by their authors on the Internet. Today, Creative Commons licenses, public domain tools, and supporting technologies are the global standard for sharing across culture, education, government, science, and more.

Version 4.0 is a tremendous opportunity to ensure the license suite is ideally crafted to further CC's [http://creativecommons.org/about vision and mission] over the next decades. Please participate in this important discussion.

=== Goals and objectives ===

Creative Commons staff, board and community have to date identified several goals for the next version of its core license suite tied to achieving CC's goal and mission. These include:

:: ''Internationalization'' – further adapt the core suite of international licenses to operate globally, ensuring they are robust, enforceable and easily adopted worldwide;

:: ''Interoperability'' – maximize interoperability between CC licenses and other licenses to reduce friction within the commons, promote standards and stem license proliferation;

:: ''Long-lasting'' — anticipate new and changing adoption opportunities and legal challenges, allowing the new suite of licenses to endure for the foreseeable future;

:: ''Data/PSI/Science/Education'' — recognize and address impediments to adoption of CC by governments as well as other important, publicly-minded institutions in these and other critical arenas; and

:: ''Supporting Existing Adoption Models and Frameworks'' – remain mindful of and accommodate the needs of our existing community of adopters leveraging pre-4.0 licenses, including governments but also other important constituencies.

When a work is in the '''public domain''', it is free for use by anyone for any purpose without restriction under copyright law. Public domain is the purest form of open/free, since no one owns or controls the material in any way.

Works that are in the public domain in one legal jurisdiction are not necessarily in the public domain worldwide. Copyright laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, both in duration of protection and what constitutes copyrightable subject matter. For example [http://usa.gov/copyright.shtml a US Government work] clearly in the public domain in the United States may or may not be free of restrictions and in the public domain in other jurisdiction. At present, one of the only ways to be certain that a particular work is in the public domain worldwide is to see if the holder has dedicated all rights to the work to the public domain by using http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0

Creative Commons licenses do not affect the status of a work that is in the public domain under applicable law, because our licenses only apply to works that are protected by copyright.

It uses a manually maintained index of known sites to be public domain - thus it is does not yield 100% public results, and content must be checked to confirm public domain status. Reliability is expected to improve and feedback by users is encouraged.

As CC public domain tools become widely used, searches based on the CC marks would be expected to a take over from Appropedia's Public Domain Search [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Creative_Commons_Aim_and_Influence Creative Commons Aim and Influence]

CC Affiliate Network

2013-08-02T19:56:13Z

Mattman:

__NOTOC__

The CC Affiliate Network consists of 100+ affiliates working in over 70 jurisdictions to support and promote CC activities around the world.

The teams have a wide range of responsibilities, including public outreach, community building, translating information and tools, fielding inquiries, conducting research, communicating with the public, maintaining resources for CC users, and in general, promoting sharing and our mission. These teams have a formal relationship with Creative Commons via an agreement between organizations, universities or individuals in the jurisdiction and CC HQ Unaffiliated volunteers are also welcome to organize events and promote Creative Commons locally, regionally and globally.

If you would like learn more or contribute in one of these jurisdictions, please click on the flag below or email affiliate-program[at]creativecommons.org. If you are looking for a flag that you do not see here, please check the [[Jurisdiction Database]] The [[Affiliates]] page on the CC wiki contains more information, including regional activities and history of our work.

<h2>The Licensing Suite</h2>

Creative Commons offers a core suite of six copyright licenses written to conform to international treaties governing copyright. The international licenses, as well as existing ported licenses, are all intended to be effective anywhere in the world, with the same [http://courtreportingagency.com legal] effect. In the past, when it was demonstrated that a ported [http://www.windows8softwares.com free software] license was needed, Creative Commons worked with [http://www.teamlaw.com legal] experts to craft a localized version of its six, core international [http://www.dknfamilylaw.com licenses]. Over 50 ported license suites exist. These ported licenses are based on and compatible with the international license suite, differing only in that they have been modified to reflect local nuances in how [http://www.colwell-law.com legal] terms and conditions are expressed, drafting protocols and, of course, language. They are effective worldwide, as is the international license suite. The most recent international license suite available is [[Version_3 | version 3.]]

Please note that CC’s policy is not to begin any new porting projects as we are currently preparing for version 4.0.

When a work is in the '''public domain''', it is free for use by anyone for any purpose without restriction under copyright [http://www.colwell-law.com law]. Public domain is the purest form of open/free, since no one owns or controls the material in any way.

Works that are in the public domain in one legal jurisdiction are not necessarily in the public domain worldwide.

For example [http://usa.gov/copyright.shtml a US Government work] clearly in the public domain in the United States may or may not be free of restrictions and in the public domain in other jurisdiction. At present, one of the only ways to be certain that a particular work is in the public domain worldwide is to see if the holder has dedicated all rights to the work to the public domain by using http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0

Creative Commons licenses do not affect the status of a work that is in the public domain under applicable law, because our licenses only apply to works that are protected by copyright.

== Appropedia's Public Domain Search ==

[http://appropedia.org/Appropedia%27s_Public_Domain_Search Appropedia'][http://www.thefunnyquotessayings.com/cool-hilarious-funny-quotes-sayings/ s] Public Domain Search was started in late 2007 when it was discovered there was no effective public available. This operates on a completely different method to searches using the Creative Commons marks. It uses a manually maintained index of known sites to be public domain - thus it is does not yield 100% public results, and content must be checked to confirm public domain status. Reliability is expected to improve and feedback by users is encouraged.

As CC public domain tools become widely used, searches based on the CC marks would be expected to a take over from Appropedia's Public Domain Search [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Creative_Commons_Aim_and_Influence Creative Commons Aim and Influence]
