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.
