Semantic unit | 4.1 rightsStatement |
---|---|
Definition | Documentation of the repository's Rights or indeed restrictions to perform one or more acts. |
Obligation | Optional |
Repeatability | Repeatable |
Usage notes | This semantic unit is optional because in some cases Rights may be unknown. Institutions are encouraged to record Rights information when possible. Either rightsStatement or rightsExtension must be present if the Rights entity is included. The rightsStatement should be repeated when the act(s) described has (have) more than one basis, or when different acts have different bases. |
