__TOC__

Creative Commons is a non profit organization that builds tools that
help realize the full potential of the commons in the age of digital
networks. Launched at the end of 2002, Creative Commons licenses have
set the standard for sharing cultural works (i.e., "content", "media",
etc.), following in the footsteps of free and open source software.
Over the past five years we have also actively developed and
contributed to technologies that complement its public licenses, with
the aim of using software to enhance the discoverability and practical
[re]usability of content—to help users manage content, as opposed
to software designed to help content manage users (i.e., DRM).  In 2006 Creative Commons launched Science Commons, a project applying similar principles to science and research.  ccLearn was launched in 2007 to help minimize barriers to sharing and reuse of educational materials.

Creative Commons holds its second technology summit on December 12, 2008, in Cambridge, MA.
The summit will focus on the application of Semantic Web technologies to Creative Commons', Science Commons' and ccLearn's missions.  Topics covered will include ccREL/RDFa, the Neurocommons project and an update on the Universal Education Search (metadata-enhanced search) project.
