File Naming
Files in the license_rdf module are named using the following convention:
creativecommons.org_license_[license-code]_[version]_[jurisdiction]_.rdf
More generally, you can take the URL of a license (i.e. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/), strip the protocol information (https://) and replace all forward-slashes (/) with underscores (_) to arrive at the base filename. Liblicense provides a function to perform this mapping for you.
File Contents
Each file contains the RDF (encoded as RDF/XML) describing the particular license. Information described by the RDF includes:
- license name, including translations
- license description, including translations
- license properties, as described by ccREL
