How to track reuse of licensed works? [[CcMixter]] provides one implementation. When a work is uploaded, ask what existing works have been remixed. This can work across sites via a [[Sample Pool API]].

==Metadata==

The dc:source property can denote an upstream source (the track that was remixed). The cc:derivativeWork property can denote a remix of a track. ccMixter uses only the former. Skipping verbose rdf/xml syntax with complete URIs, we have something like

cc:Work about=""
cc:license by-nc-sa
dc:source example.com/somework

cc:License about="by-nc-sa"
permits ...

cc:Work about="example.com/somework"
cc:license ...

==Human readable notice==

Unless the reused work is [[public domain]] attribution must be provided for works reused in a manner consistent with other attribution for the medium, e.g., listed on the work's web page as done at ccMixter. In a video reused works might be listed in credits -- [http://www.geekentertainment.tv/] which uses CC licensed music and images in their videos provides an example of this.

When metadata is [[Metadata colocation|colocated]] with human readable content both the machine- and human-readbale information tend to be more accurate and better maintained. (forthcoming)

==Search==

"Who remixed me?" as the new "Who linked me?"

link:http://example.com/blah

vs.

source:http://example.com/blah
