Hey all,
I just added some Creative Commons RDF metadata to the user guide pages.
In English, this means that search engines that are designed to look for
Creative Commons content will pick up our site.
CC-aware search engines include Google, Yahoo, and of course, the one
from Creative Commons itself. In other words, someone can go to Google
Advanced search and look for a manual on OOo that is free to distribute
and build upon. And if they do, they'll now see OOoAuthors there.
For the curious, this is what the metadata looks like:
<rdf:RDF xmlns="http://web.resource.org/cc/";
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";>
<Work rdf:about="">
<license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/"/>

<License rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/";>
<permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Reproduction"/>
<permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Distribution"/>
<permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/DerivativeWorks"/>
<requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Notice"/>
<requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Attribution"/>
</License>
</rdf:RDF>
Welcome to the Scemantic Web :-)
Cheers,
Daniel.
