Hi Carl, Aaron, I'm in Berlin right now discussing long-term preservation and availability of metadata formats with Tom Baker, cc:'d, ... and I happened to take a look at the situation with Creative Commons RDF markup. According to http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/100-most-common-rdf-namespaces/ the namespace at http://web.resource.org/cc/ is the 13th most widely used in their harvested RDF dataset. So I typed "whois resource.org" and amongst the output I see: Domain ID:D2960895-LROR Domain Name:RESOURCE.ORG Created On:07-Jan-1999 05:00:00 UTC Last Updated On:01-Oct-2005 00:26:48 UTC Expiration Date:07-Jan-2008 05:00:00 UTC Sponsoring Registrar:Go Daddy Software, Inc. (R91-LROR) I'm not expert in interpreting such things, ... maybe you have mechanisms in place for making sure this is renewed, ... but I was a little concerned to see that date looming (< 1 year). Do you plan to keep this domain renewed indefinitely, and keep using web.resource.org for Creative Commons? cheers, Dan ps. am copying the public www-archive list archiver, feel feel to preserve or drop the cc according to taste... ... but if you do care to put a commitment on record w.r.t. this domain, such a cc: would be a quick/easy way to do so. If you've never posted to www-archive before, you'll get a mail (maybe in your spam trap) from a bot asking for permission to archive your message(s).
