The Creative Commons seems to be an interesting move towards the Semantic Web. What is so special about Creative Commons, you might ask? Just adding that label to your page makes the difference? No, surely not.
If you look at any page that has a Creative Commons license, just go to the source. Now provided the license is valid, you should see some RDF data in it. What is so special about this RDF data is that it can be understood by machines (in this case crawlers). So crawlers are able to go through your page and understand how your work can be used.
Creative Commons licenses can be used to license not just text, but also audio, images, video etc.
So add this license to your blog and call it a licensed work in future. 🙂
To get started you may visit CC and then create a license by following the steps.
And ya, not to forget, Yahoo has started a Creative Commons search engine. So if you need flash movies for free or songs that you can download, just search for CC licensed works.
