CCkentistä

CCkentistä is a Finnish term used in discussions about digital content licensing and metadata. It refers to the CC fields that describe licensing terms, attribution requirements, and reuse permissions attached to a work under Creative Commons. The word is formed from CC (Creative Commons) and kenttä, meaning field, with the genitive plural suffix -istä, so it literally means "of the CC fields."

Usage and context: The term is informal and not part of formal licensing vocabulary. It has appeared mainly in online discussions among content creators, archivists, and open-data communities in Finland, and is not standardized across platforms or documentation.

Function: In practice, CCkentistä points to the concept of metadata fields that convey licensing information. In real systems, licensing details are often stored in standardized metadata schemas (for example Dublin Core or XMP) or in machine-readable license tags rather than in a single CC-specific field.

Ambiguity and scope: Because the term is informal, its exact scope varies by author and context; it is not widely used in official guidelines.
