Elements defined

rightsSummary

rightsSummary is used as a general free-text element to identify information about copyrights and property rights held in and over an asset or instantiation, whether they are open access or restricted in some way. If dates, times and availability periods are associated with a right, include them. End user permissions, constraints and obligations may also be identified as needed.

Best Practice: For rights information that applies to the asset as a whole, use this element within the container pbcoreRightsSummary. For rights information that is specific to an instantiation of an asset, use it within the container instantiationRights.

Usage: required within pbcoreRightsSummary or instantiationRights if rightsLink or rightsEmbedded is not used; cannot be used with rightsLink or rightsEmbedded; repeatable
