Overview
This page is a dump of various ideas we've had related to the goal of making CC-licenced material easier to find and to use.
At the core is a registry. It will:
- Store a blockhash (or similar) of an image.
- Associate that with licence information.
- Provide that information via an API for consumption by other websites and a simple web interface.
- Provide a revocation mechanism to deal with potential copyright claims quickly.
- Perhaps one day work with other kinds of works, not just images.
It is not intended to:
- Be a store of images, though it may be worthwhile to store the image as well as the blockhash for future upgrades/features)
- Be authoritative. That's impossible. But it will source the images from relatively trustworthy places.
Big Picture
Here are potentials subprojects to take on to get this done:
API
This is nowhere near certain and complete. It is the current dump of ideas in the form of an API. Once it's better defined it will be better documented.
| Method | Parameters and Tasks | Description |
| sampleMethod1 |
parameter1 (required)
parameter2 (optional)
|
Method description |
Database Schema
As the API this is neither certain nor complete, it's just a representation of our ideas in DB schema form - to make it easier to see both flaws and possibilities in what we're thinking.
