It's important for Creative Commons to be able to talk about the impact that our licenses have on the web. Part of this involves collecting use cases from different domains and aggregating some useful metrics. The Case Studies database aims to enable that in addition to providing a way for our community to search and discover interesting uses. But in order for a database like this to be useful, it has to have good solid information.

Evaluation Guide

There are only two axes for evaluating a Case Study on this wiki: Quality and Importance.

Quality

  • Quality should be re-assessed following any substantial edits to a Case Study.
Class Criteria Suggested Edits Examples
A-Class
  • Contains a concise and complete description of the use in well-written prose.
  • Explains the novelty or importance of the use-case.
  • Has complete information, including: an accompanying image with attribution information, quote, short description, and licensing metadata.
  • Would be worthy of being featured elsewhere on the web.
  • No edits should be necessary unless new information becomes available.
  • Example
B-Class
  • Contains a good description of the use.
  • Has an image and short description, but might be missing one or two data fields.
  • Fill in missing or incomplete metadata.
  • Fix any minor issues with writing style.
C-Class
  • Contains an adequate description of the use.
  • Some missing image, quote, or metadata.
  • May contain unclear language or obviously incorrect grammar.
  • Fill in missing or incomplete metadata, description, image, quote, etc.
