I just looked at the page you linked, just my 2 cents (I'm not a dev, so I just post these random questions) * is there any intention to use a metadata schema? ** are you planning using Dublin Core or something else? * what about metadata exchange protocol as OAI-MPH (there should be a MW extension, but I don't know it works) or OAI-ORE (still in development, AFAIK)?

Hello,

As you may have noticed, Roan, Krinkle and me have started to more tightly integrate image licensing within MediaWiki. Our aim is to create a system where it should be easy to obtain the basic copyright information of an image in a machine readable format, as well as querying images with a certain copyright state (all images copyrighted by User:XY, all images licensed CC-BY-SA, etc)

At this moment we only intend to store author and license information, but nothing stops us from expanding this in the future.

We have put some information in a not so structured way at mw.org [1]. There are some issues open on the talk page [2]. Input is of course welcome, both here or preferably at the talk page.

Bryan
