Notes: Dublin Core: Typically, rights information includes a statement about various property rights associated with the resource, including intellectual property rights. Audubon Core: Copyright Statement contains information about rights held in and over the resource. A full-text, readable copyright statement, as required by the national legislation of the copyright holder. On collections, this applies to all contained objects, unless the object itself has a different statement. Do not place just the name of the copyright holder(s) here! That belongs in a list in the xmpRights:Owner field, which should be supplied if dcterms:rights is not 'Public Domain', appropriate only if the resource is known to be not under copyright.

Example(s): Audubon Core: “Copyright XY 2008, all rights reserved”, “© 2008 XY Museum” , "Public Domain.", "Copyright unknown". This expresses rights over the media resource, not over the metadata text.

Constraints in the context of Dublin Core:

• rdfs:range: http://purl.org/dc/terms/RightsStatement (=the class or datatype of the values or objects that are assigned to “dcterms:rights”, i.e. the right side in the triple)

Constraints in the context of Audubon Core:

• cardinality 1..1 (=mandatory single occurrence)
