<copyright-holder>

Copyright Holder

Name of the organizational or personal entity that holds a copyright.

Remarks

The copyright holder is typically mentioned within the copyright statement (<copyright-statement>), as this statement is expected to be displayed. The copyright holder name may also be repeated in this element (<copyright-holder>) for purposes of searching and metadata extraction. Since <copyright-holder> is used as metadata, the element does not include the face markup elements.
The <copyright-holder>, <copyright-statement>, and <copyright-year> elements may be used only within the container element <permissions>.

Related Elements

There are three copyright elements which may be contained in the <permissions> grouping element:
  • <copyright-statement>, which is the textual statement of the copyright intended for print and display (The full statement usually contains the copyright holder’s name and the year among other information.);
  • <copyright-year>, a metadata element that names just the copyright year (This is intended for metadata searching and aggregation and is typically not displayed. This element should match the year content of the copyright statement, but need not be an exact duplicate.); and
  • <copyright-holder>, also a metadata element that is typically not displayed. This element should match the content of the copyright statement, but need not be an exact duplicate.
