License metadata in SMIL and SVG

SMIL (multimedia playlists) includes support for RDF/XML metadata. We need examples of including license metadata in SMIL for the purposes of denoting that a SMIL playlist itself is published under a Creative Commons license or that individual components of the playlist are licensed. Even better if you can use dc:source to specify parent playlists/works. (SVG has similar support for RDF/XML metadata.) Read more about the motivation in this cc-metadata post.

Implementations

• Lucas Gonze has created a CreativeCommons SMIL Module
• Inkscape includes support for SVG metadata.
• SVG::Metadata by Bryce Harrington is a PERL module for including metadata inside an SVG (used by Open Clip Art Library.

TODO

• generalize to all xml formats, split into separate challenges

Operating System Support For Creative Commons Metadata

Recent and upcoming operating systems will have built-in support for application-level metadata. See Gnome, Vista, and Tiger. How can Creative Commons take advantage of these technologies to enable CC-aware search and applications on the next generation desktop? Wanted: research briefs on how to expose CC license info for objects in each major OS or framework. Support for the external metadata files should be included.
