wpCLink

wpCLink plugin is the client component of a distributed system which first time integrates rights data; registry of persistent identifiers with metadata; peer-to-peer content licensing and delivery into a Content Management System. It is for personal use, on a non-business-related website. There are no charges for registering content and rights data. The plugin allows one registration a day.

• Compliance verification (e.g. canonical URL)

CLink is Tracked in a Digital Object Registry

• Registered content and rights information
• Relationship tracking between original and licensed content
• Persistent and content-based identifiers with revisable metadata
