I’d like to encourage Creative Commons or every interested coder in doing the following:
We need a HTML-Code for declaring CC-Licensing, whichs shows the certain CC-Icons, Version-No., Jurisdiction (including a link to human-readable version) and text-fields for author-signet and title of the work (both hyperlinkable). Besides should be a button for showing the HTML-Code (for re-embedding).
That would help authors to place their licensing and attribution-text next to their works, so that everyone with a 400px with column can copy it very easily without making mistakes.
Here a basic draft (shown text should be plaintext, no image of course):
Can be done with plain HTML, may probably include some AJAX/JavaScript for showing the full HTML-Code.
Would be nice. Thanks for your attention.
Update: I spend some thoughts on the back/front-end (that, whats shown to the auther / original embedder):
- Title of the Work (opt): [Text]
- URI of Work (opt): [URI]
- Name of Author: [Text]
- URI of Author (opt): [URI]
- License: [The three Questions]
- optional: Choose Width / Theme
Eigentlich Blödsinn, da es ausreicht sich einmal einen HTML Code in eine Vorlage zu basteln und die in jedem Artikel zu verwenden, oder noch einfacher den Code gleich in die Sidebar zu pappen.
Ich werde aber einen Teufel tun und jedem Spammer einen Freibrief zu geben den kompletten Inhalt meines Blogs zu kopieren und dann hunderte Kopien meines Blogs ins Web zu stellen so dass Google mich im Endeffekt wegen Copycontent abstrafen wird. Als ob das Problem nicht so schon bestünde, aber damit wird Copy&Paste auch noch legal.
Puh, es gibt vieleicht nicht so viele HTML-bewanderte Menschen, wie Du vielleicht glaubst. Mir wird nicht klar wer sich, wann wo „einmal einen HTML Code in eine Vorlage basteln“ soll – und genau so ein Basteln will ich eben vermeiden.
Unter welche Lizenz Du Dein Blog stellst – und was Spammer auf Basis dessen legal damit tun können, ist ein anderes Problem. Nur „nicht-kommerzielle“ Nutzung soll helfen.
For all english-readers; He thinks that’s not necessary.
Hopefully that will be unneccessary once there is some spec for RDF-A (that RDF embedded in HTML stuff), or just support for RDF/XML in XHTML by some kind of browser plugin. (It seems that currently only a comment with RDF/XML describing the license is being embedded on many websites. Which is stupid.)
Somebody create a Firefox extension that reads the RDF license info from the website (there are not too many sane ways to do that), and display them somewhere unobstrusive.
hn, and who helps me creating the RDF-A-Tags for my works after everyone has installed (within tomorrow ;) the plug-in you can’t even mention by name?
Sorry for sounding rude – your way is the elegant one. But it is not usable only through a website and doing copy&paste – one has to install plugins. I want something on the level of embedding youtube-clips.
Suggestion: Maybe the HTML-Generator should even include the RDF-A-Tag in the generated code?
