We are happy to announce that Digital Scholar has taken on the community leadership and organizational stewardship of RightsStatements.org.
As the new home for the initiative, Digital Scholar — the nonprofit team behind essential tools like Zotero and Omeka — will collaborate with our global user community to maintain and evolve our statements. This transition ensures that our standardized copyright statements remain responsive to the changing legal and technical landscapes of the cultural heritage sector.
RightsStatements.org provides a set of standardized rights statements that can be used to communicate the copyright and re-use status of digital objects to the public. Our rights statements are supported by major aggregation platforms such as the Digital Public Library of America and Europeana. The rights statements have been designed with both human users and machine users (such as search engines) in mind and make use of semantic web technology.
