Notes

This data element specifies a valid rights notice or licence for the metadata record. This indicates the extent to which the object information may be used. If you are planning to deliver data to the German Digital Library, you must select a licence or rights statement from Rechteangaben in der Deutschen Digitalen Bibliothek [eng.: Rights statements in the German Digital Library].

If the object description text is subject to intellectual property rights, the corresponding legal status should be indicated in a separate data field (in LIDO: <lido:objectDescriptionRights>, from LIDO v.1.1) (see also Object description).
