== '''1. Project Overview'''<br> ==
<br>Open Attribute is a project to build attribution generators for Creative Commons licensed content. The project is to build simple tools for a range of platforms so that re-using and attributing open content is as easy as cut and paste. For more, see the [http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/OpenAttribute-one-page-overview one-page project description here].<br>
== '''2. Models'''<br> ==
<br>Two models currently exist for this open attribution tool. Both models are limited by their own technical use cases instigating the creation of two separate code solutions. The models define no special functions for any additional user models.
== <br> 4. Interfaces ==
<br>RESEARCH NEEDED: This section needs to contain the information for how these sites store their metadata<br>Wikimedia<br>The Wikimedia Commons offers an API for pulling an XML of the metadata included in a document. This API must be implemented and queried to pull the attribution information. http://toolserver.org/~magnus/commonsapi_test.php<br>Flickr<br>Manual Entry<br><br>
== <br> 5. Output ==
<br>'''Add on'''<br>The attribution will be created based on the type of content is being pulled. If the content is an image, attribution information is printed below the image with the same width as the image and using left alignment. In this instance, the attribution information should also be embedded in the image metadata. Text should be formatted as a quote with 3px spacing on all sides with attribution information on the new line (e.g.<br/>), 2px smaller and in italics. Text output can use a standard web font at 12 pixels, making the attribution information 10px. Videos will be attributed with the attribution information followed by a <br/> tag and subsequently, the link information. When a video is downloaded, attribution information will be embedded in the file.
