[10:18] zoeyoung: licensing project has some cross over with the metadata standardisation
[10:20] zoeyoung: virtual entity
[10:20] zoeyoung: licensing immaterial works
[10:20] zoeyoung: new project
[10:20] zoeyoung: open to know what people think, if it's needed, want to collaborate
[10:21] zoeyoung: more than a license, a manifesto, piecve of software
[10:21] zoeyoung: something more intersting for net art, not just economic
[10:21] zoeyoung: way to connect users
[10:22] zoeyoung: digital files are different frm what came before
[10:22] zoeyoung: ciopies can be many, you cann be creator but not an owner
[10:23] zoeyoung: how to set and track use of the media file
[10:23] zoeyoung: how you want the work to be used
[10:24] zoeyoung: not just about video commentin g,
[10:24] zoeyoung: buit creating dialogue about work, something that keeps morphing
[10:24] zoeyoung: create a new file that has a genetic rwelation with other files
[10:24] zoeyoung: not talking lawyer stuff
[10:25] zoeyoung: not a distro system
[10:25] zoeyoung: but how to use them
[10:25] zoeyoung: defining immaterial productions by substance
[10:25] zoeyoung: problem of metadata
[10:25] zoeyoung: has lacked a standard, which iis file, .mov, .ogg or whatr
[10:26] zoeyoung: once you edit one instance of the file, not affecting the other files
[10:26] luther joined the chat room.
[10:26] zoeyoung: so was thinking aboiut metadata outside the file
[10:26] zoeyoung: linked to the file
[10:27] zoeyoung: using a system to authenticate
[10:27] zoeyoung: and hhave an index or pointer to external respository of info
[10:27] zoeyoung: when creating file, you could creatre a store of the metadata, how yiou want the video shown eg loud, in dark
[10:28] zoeyoung: creator would own permissions of infio skeleton but others can add notes etc, let know about a flyer made from a still, another subtitle file added or whatever
[10:28] zoeyoung: licensing as a dialogue
[10:29] zoeyoung: not an alterenative to creatiove commons but another thing to do more
[10:29] zoeyoung: she was confused by creative commons not doing this
[10:29] zoeyoung: creator cannot track or map or gain feedback
[10:30] zoeyoung: so she seeas to create maps between files, so if there is a bit of audio from one project in another, creator can link to that other project\
[10:30] zoeyoung: wgere is the info in the video coming ffrom
[10:31] zoeyoung: if you use the file, you are not oblioged to add info and say what ytou did, but if you want, you can
[10:31] zoeyoung: kernel of info cannot be modified
[10:32] zoeyoung: project is very early stage, presented before only at cc meet
[10:33] zoeyoung: philoshopical at thsi stage
[10:33] zoeyoung: no time for questions - can take the discussion to metadata list
[10:33] zoeyoung: there is a wiki for this
[10:34] harcesz: virtualentity.org
[10:34] zoeyoung: http://virtualentity.org
[10:34] zoeyoung: end of sessison

[10:41] zoeyoung: good links between thats proposal and the 'finding subtitles' work, also the metadata standard
[10:41] zoeyoung: eleonora will sign up to metadata list and link her project to that work and the subtitling story about unique identifiers, hashes and all that jazz
