Introduction to Standardized Rights Statements

Curious about standardized rights statements? Standardized rights statements help increase access and reuse of your items. By providing rights in the form of a machine-readable URI, users can facet on rights in the DPLA interface and open access items can be shared by DPLA to Wikimedia Commons. Want to learn how to apply them to your digital collection?

Join the DPLA Rights Statements Working Group for an introduction to standardized rights statements. RightsStatements.org statements are a simple, standardized system of labels that more clearly communicate the copyright and re-use status of digital objects to the public. Adding these labels to your digital collections will improve usability and access for users. Presenters for this webinar will include members of the DPLA Rights Statements Working Group, many of whom are currently implementing rights statements for the collections they manage. They will share their expertise and experiences, as well as a wide range of resources for implementation.
