Dear Felix, > a question to everybody on the list: Are you aware of machine-readable > license data for audio, video or other media items? I looked through the > incubator deliverables and other material, but did not find a lot. I am > asking this (also) to explore the grounds for our requirement: > "The Group should explore a minimal approach for specifying proper > copyright licensing, which may require separate terms for specifying the > holder of the copyright and the licensing terms." To complement the answer from Tobias, I will point you towards the PLUS Coalition (Picture Licensing Universal System), http://www.useplus.com/ that has developed machine-readable license data for photos. I know that more and more news and photos stock agencies use this system. There are also application that produce and consume PLUS data (copyrights licenses available in RDF format and in human-readable format for the lawyers 'à la' creative commons) and directly generate invoices. The MMSEM XG has established a formal liaison with this group and some past members were also in the board of the PLUS group. Best regards.
