I have been looking for the machine-readable RDF
microformats in the
licensing tool in the CC website, but they appear not to be
there anymore.
- Have they been retired?
- Have they been superseded by the rel="license"
attribute/value pair in the
link to the license that goes in the HTML for human-readable
licensing?
- If not, where in the licensing process does a user obtain
them?
The FAQ still says they are there, but it could be
outdated:
> Why did Creative Commons choose to use the RDF format
for its metadata?
>
> Creative Commons looked for the best way to express the
intent behind the licenses in machine-readable form. We feel
that our system provides the best of all possible worlds:
RDF, XML, and even plain text-based tools can easily process
our metadata files because we provide them with a structured
format. But just as XML tools make it easier to process the
information than text-based ones, RDF ones make it even
easier -- so we encourage all of our developers to use RDF
tools where possible. We're also working with the community
to provide CC sample code, in many different languages, that
shows how easy it is to take advantage of the RDF
information. We're also open to providing converters from
RDF to other formats. If you have such a tool or would like
one, please send information about it to our metadata list.
I checked today using the Australia jurisdiction, but I
couldn't find it
either using the Spain one a week ago.
Cheers,
Javier
