We currently publish license claim embedding recommendations for MP3 and OGG files. We want to publish similar recommendations for every popular "media" file format including Quicktime, Windows Media, PDF, GIF, JPEG, PNG, Flash... Can you research a file format and suggest a specification? We also need people to provide implementations of our recommendations in various languages, e.g., a Java library that embeds, reads, and verifies license claims. See the cctools project for existing implementations.
Filetypes
MP3 - audio format
OGG - audio format
Quicktime - Video and Multimedia format
Windows Media - Video format
PDF - document (and multimedia) format
XML - W3C document format
SVG - W3C Graphics format
SMIL - W3C Multimedia format
OpenDocument Format - ODF (ODT, ODP, ODS, ODG)
Microsoft Office Document Formats - the legacy Microsoft Office formats
Microsoft XML Format - the new Microsoft XML format
Please add your own file type
Examples
- Creative Commons' cctools has some reference implementations
- CC Command Line Tools
- CcPublisher is a tool for generating license information for a file and optionally uploading it to the Internet Archive for free hosting (forever)
TODO
- (DONE) Make specs/implementations a top-level category, with each format it's own challenge.
- Upon completion of a spec, issue a challenge for implementations in different languages and addition of support to existing libraries.
