<copyright-statement> Copyright Statement

Copyright notice or statement, suitable for printing or display.

Usage/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.
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.
