The document discusses RightsML, a standard developed by IPTC to express rights and permissions for digital content in a machine-readable format. It proposes launching RightsML in an experimental phase to get feedback from publishers on whether the current vocabulary adequately captures the rights needed and if partners can express and process those rights. The IPTC Rights Working Group will vote on adopting version 1.0 of RightsML and starting the experimental phase. Publishers are encouraged to try implementing RightsML during this phase and provide input to help IPTC improve the standard.
