The Creative Commons (CC) legal tools are composed of three parts: a legal code, a deed written in simple language, and a machine-readable layer. Unfortunately, the machine-readable layer has not been updated in some time and contains unresolved issues. To address this, the task at hand is to extend the CC Legal Tools App to generate deterministic RDF/XML files for all of the legal tools. This will bring the machine-readable layer up to date with current specifications and ensure that the legal tools are well-organized and consistent, also the end result will be an improved user experience and a more reliable and efficient system for those utilizing the CC legal tools.
