#TIL about #CommonsDB;

"... a public registry for Public Domain and openly licensed works, to bring greater legal certainty to the reuse of digital content.

The registry uses content-derived, decentralized identifiers to ensure persistent recognition of digital content and rights information across formats, thereby providing greater legal certainty for reusing digital content."

Hi @Posth and thx for mentioning #CommonsDB! I tried to gain a deeper understanding by using the explorer and reading the docs.

We have just started a project to examine ways of dealing with non-open digital objects. That's why I'm interested in the background, especially the use of #VC and #DID in CommonsDB. The signature seems to be a JWT. Why isn't it also a DID?

How much are you involved? Or should I talk to @tarkowski or @paulk?

Our partners at Wikimedia Sverige present #CommonsDB - the registry for checking image licensing status – to the Wikimedia Movement.
