im afraid, and i hate to bring this to your attention, my apologies...it
is not as simple as all that. The work you are making is a collection
and as such it is dealt with differently by Creative Commons. How it is
dealt with is obscure.

This is one of the reasons i hate copyright. Anyways...if you want to
follow the letter of the licenses you must look into collections, here
is an example collection clause from a cc license :

"The credit required by this Section 4(c) may be implemented in any
reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Adaptation
or Collection, at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all
contributing authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as
part of these credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the
credits for the other contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt,
You may only use the credit required by this Section for the purpose of
attribution in the manner set out above and, by exercising Your rights
under this License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply
any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author,
Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your use
of the Work, without the separate, express prior written permission of
the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties."

clear? no?...exactly

just to make it easier, you must also take account of jurisdiction.
Since the work you are assembling probably comes from different
countries, they possibly have different requirements as per CC license
for that area...

CC is not as simple as it claims to be...
