<copyright-statement>

Copyright Statement

Copyright notice or statement, suitable for printing or display.

Remarks

The copyright year is usually identified within the copyright statement, as this statement is expected to be displayed. The year may also be repeated in the element <copyright-year>.
Multiple Copyright Statements: The copyright statement is allowed to repeat (within the <permissions> element), to allow an organization to tag information such as the following:
  • Several equivalent copyright statements, each in a different language.
  • Both a historical copyright statement and the current owner’s copyright.
  • The copyright statements for different countries, even if they are all in the same language.
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.); and
  • <copyright-holder>, also a metadata element that is typically not displayed.
