The apeMETSRights schema is meant to be used in conjunction with the apeMETS schema as defined in the context of the Archives Portal Europe (http://www.archivesportaleurope.net/Portal/profiles/apeMETS.xsd). Based on the RightsDeclarationMD Extension Schema it allows the documentation of minimal administrative metadata about the intellectual rights associated with a digital object or its parts.
RightsDeclarationMD contains the following top level elements:
1. RightsDeclaration: intellectual property rights associated with digital asset or
part of a digital asset; 2. the mandatory RightsHolder: person or organisation
holding some intellectual property rights to a given digital asset or part of a
digital asset; 3. Context: contains a description of specific circumstances
associated with who has what permissions and constraints. RightsDeclarationMD also
contains three attributes, "RIGHTSDECID", "RIGHTSCATEGORY" and "OTHERCATEGORYTYPE".
"RIGHTSDECID provides a unique identifier for the rights declaration described.
"RIGHTSCATEGORY" specifies whether the resource is COPYRIGHTED, LICENSED, in the
PUBLIC DOMAIN, CONTRACTUAL, or OTHER which can be more fully described in the
"OTHERCATEGORYTYPE" attribute.
RightsDeclarationMD also contains mandatory attributes pointing to the apeMETSRights namespace and schema location as well as the namespace for the XML Schema instance:
xmlns="http://www.archivesportaleurope.net/Portal/profiles/rights/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.archivesportaleurope.net/Portal/profiles/rights/apeMETSRights.xsd".
Changes for the apeMETSRights schema were made on 04 November 2013.
Broad declaration of rights associated with digital asset

thereof. Further explanation of specific circumstances can be described
within the Context element. RightsDeclarationTYPE has no attribute.

Characteristics of person or institution holding some rights to a
given digital asset or part thereof. Has two attributes "RIGHTSHOLDERID" used to
uniquely identify the rights holder, and CONTEXTIDS which provides a way to

apeMETSRights, 04 November 2013: Definition and annotation moved (from where?)
The "Context" element describes who has what permissions and
contraints within a specific set of circumstances. "Context" includes four
attributes, " CONTEXTID", an optional attribute which can be used to assign a
unique identifier for the circumstance described, "RIGHTSHOLDERIDS", an optional
attribute which provides a means to specifically list the unique identifiers of
one or more RightsHolders who are involved in the Context scenario to be
described, "CONTEXTCLASS", and "OTHERCONTEXTTYPE". By means of the required
"CONTEXTCLASS" attribute, the group is defined to which a given context relates.
Enumerated values for this attribute include "ACADEMIC USER", "GENERAL
PUBLIC","REPOSITORY MGR", "MANAGED GRP", "INSTITUTIONAL AFFILIATE", "OTHER".
Local extensions to "OTHER" context classes can be described in the
"OTHERCONTEXTTYPE" attribute, as desired. "Context" also contains three elements
which further describe a specified context. The element "UserName" allows the
naming of the typical user or group who would use the digital object within the
described context. The kind of user being named can be described by means of the
attribute "USERTYPE" which has values "INDIVIDUAL", "GROUP", "BOTH", or
"UNDEFINED". The element "Permissions" describes a set of uses to which a
digital object or part thereof can be put as defined by the rights holder in a
given context. "Permissions" has nine attributes which describe the type of
permissions including "DISCOVER", "DISPLAY", "COPY", "DUPLICATE", "MODIFY",
"DELETE", "PRINT", "OTHER", and "OTHERPERMITTYPE" which allows the addition of
local types of permissions not included in the general list. Any restrictions
that need to be placed upon a set of permissions are described by the use of the
"Constraints" element. The "Constraints" element contains a
"ConstraintDescription" sub-element that is used with a set of fixed values
corresponding to the Creative Commons licences ("SA", "NC", "ND" and "NC-SA" and
"NC-ND"). The "Constraints" element has an attribute "CONSTRAINTTYPE" which
characterises the type of restrictions imposed upon the users within a given
context. Enumerated values for the CONSTRAINTTYPE attributes include "QUALITY",
"FORMAT", "UNIT", "WATERMARK", "PAYMENT", "COUNT", "ATTRIBUTION", "RE-USE",
"TIME", "TRANSFERPERMISSIONS", "OTHER".
