[tdwg-content] use of the terms dcterms:rightsHolder and dcterms:accessRights in existing databases

[Peter Desmet]

Hi,

At Canadensys, we publish our data as Darwin Core archives and we are using
rightsHolder for every record, just as VertNet is planning to do. The value
for rightsHolder = institutionCode = the institution the dataset is
registered with at GBIF, e.g. "Université de Montréal Biodiversity Centre"

We are not using accessRights, but we do populate "rights" for every
record. It has the same value as the rights in the EML: "
http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ &
http://www.canadensys.net/norms"

The whole reason we are doing so is - as John points out - to keep the
information if the records get aggregated with other records. For that
reason we are also populating:
- rightsHolder (= full institution name)
- collectionID (= biocol LSID)
- datasetID (= url of published dataset, e.g. on IPT)
- institutionCode (= full institution name)
- collectionCode (= official acronym of collection)
- datasetName (= title of dataset in EML)
- ownerInstitutionCode (= full institution name)
