This article describes a DRAFT under discussion; contents, specifications and recommendations may change until the public discussion is complete.
CC∅ provides a framework that enables people to
- (a) ASSERT that a work has no legal restrictions attached to it, OR
- (b) WAIVE any rights associated with a work so it has not legal restrictions attached to it
This page describes the metadata used to describe these two complementary paths along with suggestions for publishers who wish to use CC∅.
Metadata
CC∅ introduces two new terms in the Creative Commons namespace.
- assertedBy: The URI of the actor asserting that a work is free of legal restrictions.
- waivedBy: The URI of the actor (rights holder) waiving all legal rights to a work.
Examples
The CC∅ application returns HTML with RDFa embedded metadata describing the role the user has selected, along with any additional metadata provided. For example, a user waiving all rights to a work:
<p about="http://example.com/~auser/brilliance">
<a rel="license"
href="http://labs.creativecommons.org/licenses/zero/1.0/" style="text-decoration:none;">
<img src="http://labs.creativecommons.org/zero/images/88x31/cc-zero.png" border="0" alt="CC0" /></a>
<br/>To the extent possible under law, <a rel="cc:waivedBy" href="http://example.com/~auser">
<span about="http://example.com/~auser" property="dc:title">A. User</span></a> has <a rel="license"
href="http://labs.creativecommons.org/licenses/zero/1.0/">waived</a>
all copyright, moral rights, database rights, and any other rights that
might be asserted over <a href="http://example.com/~auser/brilliance">Brilliance Described</a>.
Alternately, a user asserting that a work is free of legal restrictions:
<p about="http://example.com/~auser/brilliance">
<a rel="license"
href="http://labs.creativecommons.org/licenses/zero/1.0/" style="text-decoration:none;">
<img src="http://labs.creativecommons.org/zero/images/88x31/cc-zero.png" border="0" alt="" />
</a>
<br/><a rel="cc:assertedBy" href="http://example.com/~foobar">
<span about="http://example.com/~foobar" property="dc:title">F. Bar</span></a> asserts
<a href="http://example.com/~auser/brilliance">Brilliance Described</a> is
<a rel="license"
href="http://labs.creativecommons.org/licenses/zero/1.0/">free
of any copyrights</a>.
</p>
