Hi Pat, Julian,
As far as i can tell one difference for web pages is that if the author is not attributed the Chrome extension picks up the name of the Open Attribute tool instead, wheras the firefox one doesn’t record an author.
If the author is attributed in the license metadata, both record that.
I’ll note that this is based on comparing the result i get from Phil’s blog post and one of mine (after i updated my licensing info yesterday using the licence generator on the Creative Commons site). I’ve not tried this with Flickr.

The chrome bug is my fault (however in a personal non-Nottingham way), however, the only reason the flickr author displays is my work! Flickr only half uses RDFa so I had to use my Xpert skills to crack flickr into giving us the author.
So you win some you lose some I guess.

Hi all - a great tool but is anyone else noticing that the Firefox and Chrome extensions seem to act differently and give different results. For example if I use the Chrome extension on a Flickr CC image the author will show as 'Open Attribute' (as per John's example below). Surely the author should show as the author of the image on Flickr? In Firefox you are given the option of an HTML or Plain Text attribution and the author shows correctly.
This is using Chrome 9.0.597 and Firefox 3.6.13 both on Mac OS 10.6.6
cheers
Julian

Hi,
A quick note for members of the list who may not have caught this on twitter – there’s a new browser plugin (for: opera, firefox, chrome) (for: opera, firefox, chrome) to simplify the process of attributing creative commons works.
Once you install the plugin (one click) any time that you are on a web page which includes cc-licence information in the metadata an icon shows up beside the url and you can click it to get a citation of page/ object for attribution.
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
it’s also available as RDF.
More information, the plugin, and a better explanation are available on the site.
Kind regards,
John
