Building a set of internationally interoperable rights
statements for digital cultural heritage.
PAUL KELLER & MAARTEN ZEINSTRA, 4th EUROPEANA LICENSING WORKSHOP

2. 87,000 different statements about copyright & reuse

3. 13 rightsstatements

6. • Establish a suite of internationally interoperable, machine
readable rights statements that can be used by cultural heritage
institutions to communicate the copyright and reuse status of
digitized cultural works
• These are intended to work alongside the Creative Commons
licenses and Public Domain tools, to cover situation where the
CC licenses and tools cannot be used.
• In the end we are aiming to establish and international standard
for communicating the copyright and re-use situation that will be
run by an independent entity.
Purpose of the project

9. • In Copyright (InC)
• In Copyright EU Orphan Work (InCOWEU)
• In Copyright Rightsholder(s) Unlocatable or Unidentifiable (InCRUU)
• In Copyright Educational Use Permitted (InCEDU)
• In Copyright NonCommercial Use Permitted (InCNC)
Rights Statements for Works that are in copyright

10. • Out Of Copyright NonCommercial Use Only (OOC-NC)
• No Copyright Contractual Restrictions (NoC-CR)
• No Copyright Other Known Legal Restrictions (NoC-OKLR)
• No Copyright United States (NoC-US)
Rights Statements for works that are not in copyright

11. • No Known Copyright (NKC)
• Copyright Not Evaluated (CNE)
Other Rights Statements

14. • The rights statements are intended to communicate the
copyright and reuse status of a digital object (not only the
underlying cultural work).
• The rightsstatements.org working group strongly supports the
position that digitization of PD works should not create
additional exclusive rights
• Where this is the case we recommend that such rights be waived
via the CC0 Public Domain Dedication
Additional considerations

16. • https://github.com/rightsstatements/
• Build for Linked Data
• cc, dc, dcterms, foaf, edm, owl, dcmitype, odrl, p3p, premiscopy, rdfs, schema,
skos
• Content negotiation
• Human Readable (HTML5/RDFa)
• JSON-LD
• Turtle RDF
• One file to rule them all (on GitHub)
Statements are at 1.0, Technology is at 5.0

17. Internationalisation in the core data structure
All texts of the statements are
machine readable and
coupled to different metadata
