Creative Work (CreativeWorkCredential) type.

The CreativeWorkCredential is a type of verifiable credential that certifies the creation and authorship of a specific piece of work, such as an assignment, thesis, or project, by a student. This credential is designed to be a trusted and verifiable digital document that acknowledges a student’s academic output, providing detailed information about the work, the author, and the context in which the work was created.

Creative work credentials are commonly used in educational settings to verify and showcase a student's academic achievements and intellectual contributions. The credential includes essential information, such as the title of the work, the author’s details, the educational level, and the content's subject matter. This provides a secure and verifiable way to assert the authenticity and originality of the student's work.

Example Emphasizing Intellectual Property (IP) Rights and Licensing Options

// see above example with acquireLicensePage implementation
...
  "acquireLicensePage": "https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmZenChairLicenseService",
...
acquireLicensePage:

This property points to a URI that redirects to a service where interested parties can license or acquire rights to the creative work. The options could include:

  • Web3 Service: A decentralized platform where fractions of the design can be purchased as NFTs or other blockchain-based assets.
  • Direct Contracts: A service that facilitates direct negotiations with the owner or their agent for full or partial rights.
  • Agent-to-Agent Negotiation: A machine-to-machine service where autonomous agents negotiate licensing deals on behalf of their owners. This could be particularly useful for dynamic pricing, automated contract execution, or scaling licensing across multiple platforms.
