RoMEO Studies 6: Rights metadata for open archiving
journal contribution
posted on 2005-07-29, 08:59 authored by Elizabeth GaddElizabeth Gadd, Charles Oppenheim, Stephen ProbetsThis is the final study in a series of six emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project
(Rights Metadata for Open-archiving) which investigated the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
issues relating to academic author self-archiving of research papers. It reports the results of a
survey of 542 academic authors showing the level of protection required for their open-access
research papers. It then describes the selection of an appropriate means of expressing those
rights through metadata and the resulting choice of Creative Commons licences. Finally it
outlines proposals for communicating rights metadata via the Open Archives Initiative’s Protocol
for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
