Note, that for data you have, at least in principle, the option to apply separate licenses to the individual entries and the collective database. For example, if you were to create a database of artworks by others, those artworks would be licensed individually as chosen by the artists, but the license for the database as a whole could be chosen by you. The latter includes the structure of the database (e.g., the selection of entries and field names) and any _sui generis_ database rights. However, if the content was created by you, we recommend you to choose the same license for both content and database. Metadata, in particular, should always be licensed under [CC0\ 1.0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).
