<span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#111111">In May 2015, the International Rights Statements Working Group released two white papers with our recommendations for establishing standardized rights statements
for describing copyright and reuse status of digital cultural heritage materials, and the enabling technical infrastructure for those statements. After working for nearly a year to implement the recommendations of the white papers, the <a href="http://us4.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=e1490d1305c4b651f3ad0ace4&id=e223c54854&e=d5118baedd"><span style="color:#084C9E">Digital

a collaborative approach to rights statements that can be used to communicate the copyright status of cultural objects. As aggregators of cultural heritage materials, this work is key to both DPLA and Europeana, as we both seek to share clear and accurate
information about copyright status with our users. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%">
<span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#111111">In this cooperative effort, we have built a flexible system of rights statements that allows our contributing cultural heritage partners, who hold the digital works,
to clearly communicate to users what they can or cannot do with the objects they discover. Use of the statements also means that use of the data can become more standardized across the world. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%">
<span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#111111">There are three categories of rights statements: Statements for works that are in copyright, statements for works that are not in copyright, and statements for
works where the copyright status is unclear. The statements provide users with easy to understand, high-level information about the copyright and re-use status of digital objects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%">
<span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#111111">The rights statements have been designed with both human users and machine users, such as search engines, in mind, and are published as a linked data vocabulary.
Each rights statement has its own Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%">
<span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#111111">The Digital Public Library of America plans to begin implementing these unique rights statements with our partners in the summer of 2016, and those efforts are
expected to continue into 2017. Europeana will integrate the new rights statements into its existing Licensing Framework in the second half of 2016 after having consulted with their contributing institutions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to acknowledge and thank the Knight Foundation for support of this important work. Thanks also goes to the European Commission as the funder the Europeana DSI project, which facilitated this work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
