This repository contains the implementation of interoperable rights statements developed for RightsStatements.org. More information about the motivation and implementation of these statements can be found in the following white papers:
- Recommendations for Standardized International Rights Statements
- Requirements for the Technical Infrastructure for Standardized International Rights Statements
The rights statements are currently implemented as a SKOS vocabulary serialized in Turtle.
If you have feedback, you can either open an issue on GitHub or contact one of the technical co-chairs:

- Antoine Isaac aisaac@few.vu.nl
- The current rights statements are located in
rights-statements.ttl. - An example file, which contains rights statements with a different version and containing sample, unofficial translations, can be found in
