Non-profit copyright licensing solutions provider Copyright Clearance Center (CCC), US, has announced the launch of Copyright Labs, a testing ground for new services, applications and products.
The site was launched with three already available applications. These include a copyright permission utility that makes it easier to license content found when using Internet Explorer; a facility for Firefox browser users who want to license content found via Google Scholar; and a tool that helps publishers implement the Automated Content Access Protocol (ACAP) standard for communicating access permission rules and rights information to search engines.
Tools available at Copyright Labs are free, and some are being released as Open Source applications, providing an open, collaborative environment. Visitors can test-drive prototypes, modify and build on them, experiment with new ideas and suggest improvements.
