Creative Commons licensing is optionally available and may be configured for any given collection that has a defined submission sequence, or be part of the "default" submission process. This process is described in the Submission User Interface section of this manual. There is a Creative Commons step already defined (step 5), but it is commented out, so enabling Creative Commons licensing is typically just a matter of uncommenting the CC License step.
Since DSpace 5.6 Creative Commons licensing is captured slightly differently in exactly the same way in each UI:
...
.
...
The
...
Create Commons REST API is utilized. This allows
...
DSpace to store metadata references to the selected CC license, while also storing the CC License as a bitstream.
...
The following CC License information
...
are captured:
- The URL of the CC License is stored in the "dc.rights.uri" metadata field (or whatever field is configured in the "cc.license.uri" setting below)
- The name of the CC License is stored in the "dc.rights" metadata field (or whatever field is configured in the "cc.license.name" setting below). This only occurs if "cc.submit.setname=true" (default value)
- The RDF version of the CC License is stored in a bitstream named "license_rdf" in the CC-LICENSE bundle (as long as "cc.submit.addbitstream=true", which is the default value)

Since DSpace 5.6 Creative Commons licensing is captured in exactly the same way in each UI and some fix has been introduced. For JSPUI users this mean: - The full (HTML) text of the CC License is not longer stored in a bitstream named "license_txt" in the CC-LICENSE bundle
- Previous existent license_txt remain untouched but new item will not receive such bitstream
For XMLUI users: - the RDF version of the CC License is now stored properly without the Creative Commons API XML envelop (

The following configurations (in dspace.cfg) relate to the XMLUI Creative Commons license process ONLY:
Property: | cc.api.rooturl
|
Example Value: | cc.api.rooturl = http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.5
|
Informational Note: | Generally will never have to assign a different value - this is the base URL of the Creative Commons service API.
|
Property: | cc.license.uri
|
Example Value: | cc.license.uri = dc.rights.uri
|
Informational Note: | The field that holds the Creative Commons license URI. If you change from the default value (dc.rights.uri), you will have to reconfigure the XMLUI for proper display of license data
|
Property: | cc.license.name
|
Example Value: | cc.license.name = dc.rights
|
Informational Note: | The field that holds the Creative Commons license Name. If you change from the default value (dc.rights), you will have to reconfigure the XMLUI for proper display of license data
|
Property: | cc.submit.setname
|
Example Value: | cc.submit.setname = true
|
Informational Note: | If true, the license assignment will add the field configured with the "cc.license.name" with the name of the CC license; if false, only "cc.license.uri" field is added.
|
Property: | cc.submit.addbitstream
|
Example Value: | cc.submit.addbitstream = true
|
Informational Note: | If true, the license assignment will add a bitstream with the CC license RDF; if false, only metadata field(s) are added.
|
Property: | cc.license.classfilter
|
Example Value: | cc.license.classfilter = recombo,mark
|
Informational Note: | This list defines the values that will be excluded from the license (class) selection list, as defined by the web service at the URL: http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.5/classes
|
Property: | cc.license.jurisdiction
|
Example Value: | cc.license.jurisdiction = nz
|
Informational Note: | Should a jurisdiction be used? If so, which one? See http://creativecommons.org/international/ for a list of possible codes (e.g. nz = New Zealand, uk = England and Wales, jp = Japan) |
