[MCN-L] Creative Commons and Embedding metadata into images
Hi Marianne, I head the Visual Resources Embedded Metadata working group (http://metadatadeluxe.pbworks.com ). We have done a lot of research and built a lot of tools for embedding information about cultural heritage images. One thing to consider is what fields you will use based on how you expect users to access the data. There are a core set of fields read by most software and then there are specialized fields used for ingest into granular schemas, like VRA Core. Take a look at our Basic embedded metadata for photos of art and architecture http://metadatadeluxe.pbworks.com/w/page/59200201/Basic%20artwork%20metadata%20guidelines You can read about the VRA custom info Panel at: http://metadatadeluxe.pbworks.com/w/page/32300275/VRA%20XMP%20Info%20Panel%20(beta) The VRA panel does include Creative Commons fields in the Image section, but the rest of the panel might be more granular than you need. If so, you can hide the fields you don't need in the customization screen. For batch importing, we have an export/import plugin for Bridge: http://metadatadeluxe.pbworks.com/w/page/48025141/VRA%20Panel%20Export-Import%20Tool It works with tab-delimited text files which you can edit in Excel. Again, it has a lot of columns you may not need to import, but you can just leave them blank and use the columns that fit your need. Feel free to contact me for help.

[MCN-L] Creative Commons MuseumPods Podcast Licensing Survey Results
This past fall Creative Commons (CC) and MuseumPods conducted a brief online survey regarding podcast licensing. The results are now available online at http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/12901 it is not an academic study but does provide some valuable insight for museums interested in podcasting or including CC licensing, copyright, and attribution to RSS podcast media. There are some nice charts to reference. Based on the survey results MuseumPods added CC licensing, copyright capability and human-readable attribution fields to our free podcast media software called FeedMe. FeedMe is a free resource for museums to use to create unlimited RSS feeds, episodes, as well as have unlimited media storage and bandwidth needed for its distribution. Since we support organizations in over a dozen countries we also included human-readable geographical licensing and copyright support. Best of luck with your podcasting.

[MCN-L] Creative Commons/MuseumPods Museum Media Survey
The Podcast Publishing, Access, and Rights Survey Creative Commons approached me on how they could better address the specific media licensing needs of the museum community and to build stronger relationships with cultural heritage organizations. Together we have created an online survey to assist us develop these areas of interest. We hope you will participate in our survey. The results may influence how organizations license media and your support will also help foster interaction between Creative Commons and museums. Survey http://creativecommons.org/podcastsurvey Survey widget http://museumpods.com/id404.html Thank you for participating in our survey. Sincerely, Kurt Stuchell MuseumPods http://MuseumPods.com creative_commons at museumpods.com
[MCN-L] Creative Commons Collaborates with MuseumPods
Creative Commons (CC) and MuseumPods have recently started working together to create the next generation of RSS podcast-based CC licensing applications, giving museum curators and teachers better options for producing and distributing museum content. MuseumPods RSS technology is being developed in collaboration with CC staff to ensure proper licensing and usability to provide the most technologically advanced CC media licensing options for museums. Guidance from the museum community, through responses to an on-line survey, will help to shape reference materials for museums to use when developing RSS-based media (digital images, audio, video, and documents) with CC licensing. Thank you for your future participation in the survey. Sincerely, Kurt Stuchell Creative_Commons at MuseumPods.com http://MuseumPods.com

Many thanks, Perian. It's really interesting to see this kick up the rear being delivered by the CC community. I found the FAQs page on the search project (http://learn.creativecommons.org/projects/oesearch/oesearch-faq/) to be especially useful in understanding where they're coming from, what they think about the rich metadata standards out there, and how they propose to just GET THINGS MOVING, one way or another. Provocative and pragmatic! Good luck to them, I will start thinking about how we can contribute.

We have chosen CC license for the publication of our magazine. At that time we have asked the opinion of a lawyer to be sure what exactly the risks are. I am not certain if your question refers to the type of the license or the version of the license, but shortly, here are the clarifications we received: - The version of the license: all versions are totally equivalent internationally and in terms of information share there is no difference in using a license from one country or another. This choice is not related with the language of the content but what differs is the following: if there will be any problem of illegal use of the available content (that may happen with or without the CC license) the legal process that follows will develop conforming to the law of the respective country. If you will choose the license belonging to your own country, the respective judiciary system will be applied. - The type of the license: the CC website explains everything and the FAQ section is very useful. In addition, the license is a very good way to share any kind of content because even the most permissive license obliges the users to give credits to their original authors. I would like to add that the adoption of CC license is, by our opinion, a correct way to give open access to information to the people without prejudicing anything to the information itself. Hope this will help. Teodora Poiata Editor __ e_conservation magazine www.e-conservationline.com

Hi everyone: I'm playing catchup on a lot of my image processing this week, and my standard practice has been to embed a copyright notice into the file. However, I seem to have institutional support to move from a restrictive blanket copyright notice to a Creative Commons notice (seem to = my director saying, that sounds good. I'm taking it and running with it!). Currently, the text reads: All images are Copyright Judah L. Magnes Museum. They may only be reused or reproduced with written permission from the Magnes Museum. For reproduction requests, please contact Rights and Reproduction, Judah L. Magnes Museum, 2911 Russell St., Berkeley, CA 94705 I'm not happy with this for obvious reasons. Does anyone else have a CC notice that they use and like? We only want to request reproduction charges for publications and marketing, but let everyone else use the images (more or less) as they wish. Thanks for any advice!
