1. Rights of the Metadata

• Rights of the Metadata (Data Providers – service Providers)– should be explicit within the metadata– possibly in the about field– Possibly a set of standard statements that

data providers can choose from– it is important to consider what enhancements

should be allowed to metadata and what the IPR status of enhanced metadata is

2. Rights of the Documents

•Rights of the Documents/Content (Authors – Data Provider)– Who assigns rights metadata?

Authors or Data Providers– Should the metadata be human readable or

machine readable or both?• Machine: should it be use in a

technical protection measure?

3. OAI and IPR/DRM

OAI is looking at projects like:– Creative Commons

• suggested 4 different machine readable rights statements

• legal licences are attached to those– RoMEO

• Suggest rights metadata solution for eprints

• possibly Creative Commons• possibly Open Digital Rights Language
