Not yet settled on licence, will be a range. Will be CC.
Posted by philb at 2012-01-13 10:20:05
Will encourage attribution / licence information in resource, e.g. a slide in a powerpoint presentation or title frame / end credits in video.

resource description very loosely based on simple Dublin Core (Title, Author, description), tags, licence -- might format it so that it maps to Jorum deposit metadata. No fixed vocabulary. Might investigate more detailed metadata.

content types likely to be rich media: video, audio, possibly open text books.

Also federal version of process arts that will surface local installations of process arts running locally and provide basic service for institutions who don't have resources to run their own instance.
