5. Working
Group’s
Objec;ves
1. A
specified
format
for
bibliographic
metadata
and
possibly,
a
set
of
visual
signals,
describing
the
readership
rights
associated
with
a
single
scholarly
work
2. Recommended
mechanisms
for
publishing
and
distribu5ng
this
metadata
3. A
report
on
the
feasibility
of
including
clear
informa5on
on
downstream
re-­‐use
rights
within
the
current
project
and,
if
judged
feasible,
inclusion
of
these
elements
in
outputs
1
and
2
4. A
report
sta5ng
how
the
adop5on
of
these
outputs
would
answer
(or
not)
specific
use
cases
to
be
developed
by
the
Working
Group

7. “open
access”
poli;cally
fraught
• Won’t
use
this
label
Factual
informa5on:
– Is
a
specified
work
free
to
read
–
can
it
be
accessed
by
anyone
who
has
access
to
the
Web?
– What
re-­‐use
rights
are
granted
to
this
reader?
• Minimal
set
of
metadata
needed
• Decided
not
to
create/recommend
a
logo

8. Two
tags
• <free_to_read>
<free_to_read start_date=“2013-02-03” end_date=“2013-10-03”>
<free_to_read start_date=“2015-02-03”>
• <license_ref>
<license_ref start_date=“2014-02-03”>http://
www.psychoceramics.org/license_v1.html</license_ref>
<license_ref start_date=“2014-02-03”>http://creativecommons.org/
licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US</license_ref>

9. Distribu;ng
Metadata
• Who?
Publishers,
aggregators,
content
providers
• Include
the
metadata
in
all
standard
metadata
sets
– Intended
that
this
popula5on/distribu5on
will
become
part
of
standard
editorial
and
produc5on
workflows
• Could
also
include
in
alerts
such
as
e-­‐TOCs
and
RSS
feeds
and
A&I
feeds

10. What’s
Next?
• Public
Review
and
Comment
period
• Working
Group
will
address
and
poten5ally
incorporate
Comments
• NISO
Approval
• NISO
Publica5on
as
a
Recommended
Prac5ce
