Download English captions English captions: 0:00:08.649,0:00:14.809 Hi everyone. Last week on Google Image Search, we introduced the ability for users to filter their results down to 0:00:14.849,0:00:21.409 images that are just available under particular licenses such as Creative Commons, the GNU Free Documentation License, 0:00:21.739,0:00:27.469 and even some public domain images as well. So, as a webmaster, you might be asking yourself the question: "Well, I 0:00:27.469,0:00:34.259 have images, and how exactly do I go about staging them so that Google Image Search can parse it all apart and figure 0:00:34.259,0:00:37.319 out that a particular image is covered under a particular license?" 0:00:38.000,0:00:46.440 And it's a very good question. The simplest way to do this, and I'm going to introduce today, is by using RDFa. And 0:00:46.440,0:00:57.169 RDFa is a way of marking up existing HTML elements with particular semantic metadata. So, here we see the image source 0:00:57.169,0:01:05.970 tag as you might use it on your page today. The next stage here is to add on an anchor to the particular license that 0:01:05.970,0:01:13.240 you happen to be using, such as the one shown here. The final stage in order to stage this image would be to try and 0:01:13.239,0:01:20.739 encapsulate this, because the problem we have as a search engine with the markup as you see it right here, is that we 0:01:20.739,0:01:25.819 don't really know that license is necessarily talking about the image on the page, or another image on the page, or 0:01:25.819,0:01:32.849 even just the text on the page. So the way to do this is to introduce something like a <div> element, and use about= 0:01:32.849,0:01:37.440 and then the image that you happen to be talking about, to group these two things together. 0:01:37.589,0:01:38.569 So now we have: 0:01:39.059,0:01:39.610 Here's a group. 0:01:39.769,0:01:40.879 The group is talking about the image. 0:01:40.879,0:01:42.089 Here's the image. 0:01:42.610,0:01:43.800 And here's the license in question. 0:01:43.800,0:01:48.919 And hopefully that should be enough for Google Image Search to figure out what's going on, and how you want this image 0:01:48.919,0:01:56.299 to be staged, and how you want this image to be reused. And the other thing to add here of course is that if you do 0:01:56.299,0:02:01.400 have particular requirements in terms of attribution, you should make that clear on the page, or have a link off to 0:02:01.400,0:02:07.309 another page on your site that says, "Here's how I want to be attributed if you want to reuse my image." It's as 0:02:07.309,0:02:13.210 simple as that. We're very excited about this new launch. We really look forward to hearing your feedback, by all 0:02:13.209,0:02:15.540 means drop us some messages in the forum. Thank you. |
