ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

Many libraries, museums and archives are digitizing their collections to provide them for the public

through the network. In addition, there are many services on the network that supply similar digital

resources to the public. These digital collections are invaluable sources for cultural activities. But the

digital resources provided by these collections may have some restriction for the usage. Intellectual

Most digital collections present such rights information somewhere in their services. In many cases,

however, it is hard for ordinary users to find correct information. There are many ways to present rights

information. This document provides a guideline to present rights information in an easily accessible

way. It will ease the work involved in seeking proper rights information and promote usage of digital

This document is intended to provide guidelines for digital collection service developers to design

systems that can effectively present rights information to the end-users. Digital collection providers

(e.g. libraries, museums, etc.) can refer to this document when they commission their service systems.

This document does not provide the guidelines for the entire design of a service system. References to

search page or browsing page, for example, does not mean that they are recommended. Only the parts

concerning the presentation of rights information are the recommendations of this document.

This document provides an effective presentation of rights information in digital collections to end-

users. Digital collection, in this document, is mainly focused on digital collections in libraries, museums,

This document deals with the human-readable aspects of the rights presentation. Technical aspects

of the storage and management of rights expression information, such as, metadata schemas,

interoperability of machine-readable expressions and user interfaces are out of scope of this document.
