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 third technology summit on June 26,
2009 at Aula Magna Lingotto - Politecnico di Torino in Turin, Italy.
Creative Commons Technology Summits are a forum for exploration of
technology built upon and enhanced by Creative Commons licenses and work in
the Semantic Web arena.
