[Metadatalibrarians] rightsstatements.org statements

Our current licensing is a controlled value drop-down which displays the
license name. We then use the same for the display. We have an FAQ pop up
with summaries of licenses in the submission side but not in public display.

However we don't have Rights Statements incorporated yet. But that's our
current setup and we could work those into it. The question is how to
manage old CC 3.0 licenses we really don't want people using without losing
them if the record gets edited, CC 4.0 for self-depositors, and Rights
Statements for our cultural heritage materials without it becoming an
unmanageable mess.

Hi Rachel,

We have a list of rights statements that users can chose from a drop down
menu - so it's a controlled list. The URI most likely needs to be added in
the code in the config file (if you are using fedora/sufia) and that way
the display name is human readable. But it may depend on your architecture.
More than happy to share what we have done here at Galter Health Sciences
Library with you.


Feel free to give me a call, I'm few blocks away from you :)
