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)

Steve,

Discover Life serves terms of use info with each record too.  For example, see http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20l?id=GBIF79370852

Cheers,
Pick

We use dcterms:rightsHolder extensively at the level of individual data
objects (multimedia, text) at Encyclopedia of Life.

The terms dcterms:rightsHolder and dcterms:accessRights are
"imported" from Dublin Core into the Darwin Core record-level
vocabulary.  I am interested in them for two reasons: there are
several issues with the use of those terms as RDF predicates, and
they differ from the terms suggested for use in rights management
in the draft Audubon Core vocabulary.  What I am wondering is how
widely are they actually used in databases by our community?  If
you maintain a database, do you use them?
