Hi Kate, First a disclaimer: I'm neither a lawyer nor a copyright expert.
I would think that AAT subject records would ideally link to their licensing statement <https://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/obtain/index.html>. It's of less importance than making sure an institution's own description has clear rights declarations, but it seems like it could be helpful for systems outside the GLAM world which may not inherently know that AAT data can be reproduced. As a side note, I also want to be clear that while *DACS *requires metadata rights to be declared, it does *not *have to be done using the ArchivesSpace Metadata Rights Declaration subrecord. That's just a good way to make it machine-actionable in a way that a statement on the PUI footer (which complies with the *DACS *requirement) is not. All the best, Dan On Thu, Apr 28, 2022 at 12:50 PM Bowers, Kate A. <[email protected]> wrote: > If your subjects and agents are coming from thesauri (not initiated in > your own repository) I’m not sure what rights statements about this > metadata would be applicable.
