rights declaration

[Torsten Schaßan]

Dear colleagues,

we publish our digital facsimiles of heritage materials in the Public Domain and attach the Public Domain Mark.

The IIIF validator throws an error for our rights declaration:

Error 1 of 1. Message: 'https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/' does not match 'http://creativecommons.org/licenses/.*'

Isn't that an error in the schema, not to allow the Public Domain Mark but to require a CC license? Or does the rights field address the manifest itself and I would have to use another field for the rights declaration covering the digital images themselves?

Best regards,
Torsten | Schaßan

Hello Torsten, 

This is not an uncommon problem. I think in this case, the issue is likely the "https" in your URI. Try: http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/ instead.

More context is available here: https://github.com/IIIF/api/issues/1874.

If the issue persists, you may find more help in our Slack workspace. 

Best regards, 

Caitlin

Did you try the http:// version of the URL? 

This was discussed recently on Slack, in the General channel. 

It's noted here: https://iiif.io/api/cookbook/recipe/0008-rights/

Dear Caitlin and Andrew,

you are so right, I didn't read the Guidelines well enough and http:// did the trick. At least the validator isn't complaining anymore. ;-)

Would it be an idea to adjust the error message of the validator to give users a better hint of what's going on and wrong?!

Thank you very much for your patience!

Best regards, Torsten
