Metadata

Al Jazeera has implemented a subset of the CC REL specification with the rel="license" attribute in some of its links to the CC licenses.

For example, see this code on the main page:

<div> <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/"> <img alt="Creative Commons License" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc-nd/3.0/88x31.png" /></a> </div> <div sytle="left; "> Unless otherwise noted content on this site is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported License</a>. Please see licensing information accompanying each individual video. </div>

They have not implemented any metadata into actual video pages (e.g. the license marks for individual videos):

For example, see the source to this page:

<div class="views-field-field-license-value"> <label class="views-label-field-license-value"> License: </label> <span class="field-content"><br /> <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"> <img src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/3.0/88x31.png" /></a> This work licensed under <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"> Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported</a></span> </div>
