The legacy CC API (api.creativecommons.org) is on borrowed time.
Describe the solution you'd like
We (Creative Commons Technology team members) would like to collaborate with DSpace developers to develop a solution that meets or exceeds the current solution. I expect a few YAML or JSON files would be easier to work with and provide a better end-user experience.
It looks like dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/license/CCLicenseConnectorServiceImpl.java is where the legacy CC API integration lives.
Additional context
- Current CC legal tools (licenses + CC0 public domain dedication) are a much smaller solution space than they were under 3.0 of the licenses
- With version 4, there are 6 licenses (all international)
- With version 3, there are 264 licenses (6 each of unported and ported/jurisdiction specific)
- The CC legal tools have never changed very rapidly--the legacy CC API returns the same information now as it did when it received its last substantial update, 11 years ago.
- cc-archive/cc.api: Legacy API to integrate the Creative Commons licensing engine into third party applications
- The legacy ccEngine was replaced by the new CC Legal Tools on 2023-09-27
- new CC Legal Tools
- see the ccEngine section of the
cc-archive/cc.engine repository's README.md for the list of legacy ccEngine repositories
