Metadata and Digital Rights Management

Introduction

Tracking rights and permissions is essential to our ability to share and reuse information; structuring appropriate metadata for this purpose is also essential for successful dissemination and long-term stewardship within the context of institutional repositories. The Coalition supports a program for the documentation and management of rights related to digital content in educational and other non-commercial settings.
