== Metadata ==
== thanks for the postzomiamogblada ==


Some while ago, people in the [http://artlibre.org/ Free Art community] have been asking for a metadata format to recognize works of free art.
Thank you, I have recently been searching for information about this topic for ages and yours is the best I have discovered so far.
 
An RDF schema was envisioned that would help tag free works of any kind (art, software, etc.). I have written [http://rdf.four-freedoms.org/ff.rdfs a simple draft of such a schema]. The aim was to establish in the technical field (markup, tools) the political importance of free contents. Since then, the project has been in deep sleep; perhaps we can revive it some day under the Free C(ontent|ulture) banner.
 
Creative Commons already have their own metadata, which spans non-free as well as free works; my draft tried to inherit some of its vocabulary from the CC vocabulary, so as to enable interoperability (only for free works of course).
 
The DOAP maintainer [http://lists.usefulinc.com/pipermail/doap-interest/2005-October/000158.html expressed interest] in such a project, noting however: ''"it seemed to me to require buy-in from more parties than I felt I could achieve in DOAP alone"''. [http://usefulinc.com/doap DOAP] (Description of a Project) is a metadata format which provides machine-readable tagging with semantics similar to the information provided by SourceForge and the like. Projects like the [http://directory.fsf.org/ FSF/UNESCO Free Software Directory] could use DOAP to store and spread metadata.
 
''(of course, the schema draft or even my understanding of RDF might be totally awful. I had no prior knowledge about the so-called "Semantic Web" when this project was first envisioned.)''
