Framework for Policy Aware Content Reuse on the WWW

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a platform in which users can share their work very effectively. Due to the nature of the medium, content on the WWW including text, images, and videos can be reused and remixed rapidly. Scientific research data, social networks, blogs, photo sharing sites and other such applications known collectively as the social web, and even general purpose websites have lots of increasingly complex data. Data from several web pages can be very easily aggregated, mashed up and presented in other web pages. Content generation of this nature inevitably leads to many copyright or license terms violations, motivating research into effective methods to detect and prevent such violations.
