RDFa has a danger that you can obviously think the page has the license and not the items within it. A copyrighted page could happily contain CC Licensed items with RDFa. It's definitely a nerd problem - as those who get RDFa wouldn't raise an eyelid, but confusing to others. The attributor (firefox) supports multiple RDFa for all the items it finds however, so you can choose if you opted to license your page as RDFa as well. Do we somewhere keep a list of the places / systems what OER1 and OER2 projects have used to public their content?

It seems to work off the RDFa snippet <span about="http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/philb/"<http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/philb/>> <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/"<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/>>CC BY-NC-SA 2.5</a> </span> I noticed something interesting when working out the Google rich snippets stuff: if you go to <http://www.icbl.hw.ac.uk/~philb/temp/gglSnip.html><http://www.icbl.hw.ac.uk/~philb/temp/gglSnip.html> which has information about my blog on it including that snippet, the plug-in shows the (CC) logo in the URL bar. When you click on it you get the attribution code for my blog, not the page you're looking at. That's a feature, I think, not a bug since it correctly reflects the RDF on the page, but it might confuse people who expect always to get code for citing the page they're looking at. Phil.

For example - if i go to Phil's blog and click the icon I get: "Phil's JISC CETIS blog> Blog Archive > Hopes and fears for eReaders and eTextBooks : taken from - http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/philb/2011/01/24/hopes-and-fears-for-ereaders-and-etextbooks/ Author: Open Attribute http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ " it's also available as RDF. More information, the plugin, and a better explanation are available on the site. Kind regards, John R.
