Re: [CODE4LIB] Representing copyright holder in MODS
I'd probably do: name type=personal namePartTaylor, Mike/namePart role roleTerm type=code authority=marcrelatorcph/roleTerm roleTerm type=text authority=marcrelatorCopyright holder/roleTerm /role /name That could be used either in the main record, or inside relatedItem as Ray suggested if you're just referring to the abstract.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Representing copyright holder in MODS
The MODS convention is to add an accessCondition containing copyright information expressed in a more specialized schema. There's an example at: http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/userguide/accesscondition.html The word copyright in copyrightDate in originInfo is a bit of a misdirect in this case, since copyright date is always relevant to the resource's origin but the identity of the rights holder isn't.

Many thanks for this, I don't think I would have spotted it! Any thoughts on how I might use this to express the copyright status of the item's abstract? -- Mike.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Representing copyright holder in MODS
From: Mike Taylor Any thoughts on how I might use this to express the copyright status of the item's abstract? One way, that I have heard discussed (though I don't know if anyone is doing it) is to represent the abstract as part of a related item (type = constituent). The related item could consist of just the abstract and the copyright statement. --Ray

At the moment, since the accesscondition element's type attribute is uncontrolled, I am just using copyright for the main copyright statement and copyrightabstract for the copyright of the abstract.

Here at UCSD, we recognized that MODS was not sufficient to capture our copyright information, although we do use MODS for our descriptive metadata. Thanks for this. An interesting alternative, but not one that we can switch to at this stage. It's MODS or MODS+extensions for us. -- Mike.
