If you run a Content Directory of some form, in addition to enabling (or in some cases mandating) CC licenses for works hosted, cataloged or otherwise curated, it is beneficial to provide users means to navigate and search CC-licensed material and accurate counts of licensed materials.
Example: Flickr
http://flickr.com/creativecommons provides all three:
- navigation for each license
- search for each license
- current number of photos under each license
- (Flickr advanced search also enables search across licenses, supports URLs enabling inclusion in search.creativecommons.org, and supports query by license in its API.)
One could do far worse than copying this interface.
