The labels contain [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR-Code QR Codes] and human readable Info (Text and Icons). Both contain the same info, the QR-Code has some failure-tolerance. It can be cut and used by itself.

== Creation ==
 
 
 
They can be created at the current [http://kariert.org/ test-implementation] using Firefox. After the creation, check that in printing page setup all the header and footers are disabled, and that the page borders are minimal. Also, select the right printer,  otherwise things go to the lazzzor...
 
The paper format should be set to 62x30mm.
 
Usually, the settings are safed by the web browser.
 
 
 
 
 
The labels can be printed on 62mm endless thermo-paper on the labelprinter on the Lazzzor computer. It is a Brother QL-560.
 
 
 
== Background==
 
The flags should apply not only to junk in the lab, e.g. Beamer,Printers,Displays,Styrofoam Cutters,Toolboxes, Repraps, Food?, Bikes, Furniture, unfinished projects, you name it;
 
Also a more general use context should be kept in mind.
 
 
 
Basically all the information should boil down to a short, coded, still human readable string<200 Letters, that is also replicated by the QR-Code
 
There should be data fields,
 
The Flags should be two-byte values that are at least human interpretable if possible, i.e. Public Domain="PD".
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
[http://xkcd.com/805/ http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/paradise_city.png]
 
== Software Architecture ==
 
Currently, the form is created using php, the stuff is transfered via Post to create.php.
 
There, the plaintext string is created, skipping unspecified fields.
 
The QR-Code is created by a found php script.
 
Ouput is sloppyly aligned by css/divs.
 
 
 
it might be cooler to go a different workflow:
 
html form->data->executeable->png->html->printer
 
 
 
 
 
executeable might benefit from:
 
* [http://cairographics.org/download/ Cairo]
 
* [http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/index.en.html qr code library]
 
or maybe just
 
html form->display->html->printer
 
 
 
current proof of concept:
 
[http://kariert.org/ Labelz test]
 
Maybe use some existing online service for generating the QR codes or implement the QR library in JavaScript so we don't need an active component on the server?
 
 
 
==Content String schematic==
 
You have flags, that are defined by a one letter.
 
Then you have flag-specifiers, by two letters.
 
 
 
e.g. OwnershipType-Flag="O"
 
 
 
e.g. OwnershipType-Flag-Specifier="pd"=Public Domain
 
 
 
-> Opd
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If there are strings included
 
 
 
"R"=responsible person
 
 
 
"8" number of characters following
 
 
 
"bkubicek"
 
 
 
-> R8bkubicek
 
 
 
 
 
as http:// links can be encoded in qr-codes, and are understand automatically by most qr-code decoders, one could per principle encode using a link [i know .lz does not exist]:
 
http://labe.lz/V1aOpdUfrD010110
 
could be something like
 
"Version 1a Ownership Public domain Use Freely".
 
The linked page could then decode the qr-code string and present it nicely.
