PLUS (Picture Licensing Universal System)

FYI -- For all those who work with image licenses, information about new developments by a coalition of photographers' associations....

A new initiative called PLUS (Picture Licensing Universal System) is creating standards for picture rights and licensing terminology, and a universal structure for media types and categories to be used in image licensing interfaces. The PLUS consortium is also experimenting with the development of automated licensing, and, most interesting for museums, is developing an "artist (read: photographer) and licensor registry" to assist users in locating photographers and their associated works. Some of these tools are already available to try out on their web site
(http://www.useplus.com/home.asp ).

poesia

Come puo' esser ch'io non sia piu' mio?
O Dio, o Dio, o Dio!
Chi m'ha tolto a me stesso,
ch'a me fusse piu' presso
o piu' di me potesse, che poss'io?
O Dio, o Dio, o Dio!
Come mi passa el core
chi non par che mi tocchi?
Che cosa e' questo, Amore,
ch'al core entra per gli occhi,
per poco spazio par che cresca,
e s'avvien che trabocchi?

Michelangelo Buonarroti "le rime", in Il tesoro della poesia italiana. Dalle origini al Cinquecento
