Rights metadata for personal archives
Standards for digital rights management
Qualified Dublin Core
Qualified Dublin Core extends the 15 core descriptive elements, providing a more granular metadata structure. See 'Section 3: Other Elements and Element Refinements' of the DCMI Metadata Terms for a full list of these elements.
Elements relevant to rights are:
<dcterms:accessRights> Information about who can access the resource or an indication of its security status.
<dcterms:dateCopyrighted> Date of a statement of copyright.
<dcterms:license> References a legal document giving official permission to do something with the resource, preferably via a URI. However, this might also be a hard-copy deposit or donation agreement.
<dcterms:rightsHolder> A person or organisation owning or managing rights over the resource.
