<p>MicroMilbi: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Challenge<br /> |related_to=CcREL<br /> |challenge_type=Developer<br /> |tags=gsoc, metadata<br /> |is_complete=Yes<br /> }}<br /> <br /> |free text=}}<br /> {{Infobox|The new validator is now online at http://validator.creativecommons.org}}<br /> <br /> {{Infobox|'''Work in progress'''<br /> <br /> 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]].}}<br /> <br /> 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). <br /> <br /> A minimal implementation will:<br /> <br /> * 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)<br /> * alert users that embedding using historical methods has been deprecated<br /> * support making assertions about embedded objects<br /> <br /> An awesome implementation will:<br /> <br /> * 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<br /> * 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.</div>
