Modules to expose usage rights

[Brandon Weigel]

Hi all,

Spurred by the COAR report on next-generation repositories, I wanted to let you all know about a pair of modules I’ve developed to support behaviour #2, “Declaring licenses at the resource level”.

Islandora Creative Commons Badge and Islandora Rights Statements Badge will scan your objects’ metadata for URIs to their respective licenses/statements, and return badge icons that summarize the viewer’s usage rights, and link out to the more detailed information.

If you decide to use these, let me know! And if you need any advice on configuration, etc., please feel free to contact me.

Cheers,
