Internal API - no rights statement on images with blank CC status

[f27wood]

When testing the images in narratoives, I noticed that images that have a blank CC status, do not include a rights statement.

This is for the internal API only.

Example:

https://data.nma.gov.au/object/33225?apikey=swIxipP4bWPvL0PTMyP8e7Igtv1ArOfk https://data.nma.gov.au/object/33225?apikey=swIxipP4bWPvL0PTMyP8e7Igtv1ArOfk&format=json-ld

Compared to a restricted image example: https://data.nma.gov.au/object/10858?apikey=swIxipP4bWPvL0PTMyP8e7Igtv1ArOfk https://data.nma.gov.au/object/10858?apikey=swIxipP4bWPvL0PTMyP8e7Igtv1ArOfk&format=json-ld

Suggest adding rights info as follows.

JSON-LD

      "component" : 
      { "id" : "Contact the National Museum of Australia before using this image",
        "type" : "Right",
        "label" : "Copyright yet to be determined" } } } },

Smple DC

"hasVersion" : [ { "id" : "MA64991957", "type" : "StillImage", "identifier" : "http:\/\/data.nma.gov.au\/media\/MA64991957#", "rights" : "Contact the National Museum of Australia before using this image", "rightsTitle" : "Copyright yet to be determined", "hasVersion" :

However, I am not sure as to whether the id and rights should be "Contact the National Museum of Australia before using this image", or a link to All rights reserved, or left blank as it is yet to be determined?

As an example, on Trove, the image rights for these records will be displayed as follows:

Image: Copyright yet to be determined. Contact National Museum of Australia before using this image. Text: Copyright National Museum of Australia / CC BY-NC https:/​/​creativecommons.org/​licenses/​by-nc/​4.0/​

Pre-processs EMu objects XML to insert default statement when missing.

I agree it would be odd for the internal API to provide internal users with the message "Contact the National Museum of Australia before using this image".

[f27wood]

Although thinking this through, the internal API will be used by some external developers such as Trove.. so I am now thinking that we do use it as above.

As internal users of the API can always not use that statement, and they are likely to get copyright clearance for internal use.

[f27wood]

As discussed, here is an example record with the status of "Undetermined" which means we have reviewed it and cannot determine the copyright owner.

IRN: 125949

It looks like the rights statement and reason has already been included, so all should be AOK as shown below.

Example from prod:

https://data.nma.gov.au/object/125949?apikey=XXX

SIMPLE "rightsTitle" : "All Rights Reserved", "rightsReason" : "Status undetermined",

JSON-LD "classified_as" : "http:\/\/vocab.getty.edu\/aat\/300404457", "value" : "Status undetermined" }, "component" : { "id" : "http:\/\/rightsstatements.org\/vocab\/InC\/1.0\/", "type" : "Right", "label" : "All Rights Reserved" } } } },

[Conal-Tuohy]

Regarding what to use as the identifier for the "yet to be determined" status, I believe I have found relevant concepts in the "Rights Statements" vocabulary: https://rightsstatements.org/page/1.0/?language=en#collection-other

I would like to use one of these terms because they are standard terms, and I think one of the first two will be correct in every case, but I'm not sure if a blank status necessarily implies one or the other? It seems to me that a blank might potentially imply either. Nevertheless, I've gone ahead with using the first: http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/CNE/1.0/ ("Copyright not evaluated") though I could change it to http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/UND/1.0/ ("Copyright not determined").

I think as a practical matter it's not a major difference. Using "Copyright not evaluated" implies that we have not yet got around to it, whereas the second says "we've tried but haven't finished our investigation". It's a question of whether you want to make the claim that you've tried; it seems better to me to not make that claim since we know in some cases it would not be true. Whereas if we use "Copyright not evaluated", we may be stating that we haven't made an attempt to determine rights, when in some cases an attempt actually may have been made. But I think that's a less serious form of misinformation; plus it carries more of an implication that contacting the Museum about obtaining permission might prod someone to investigate the image further (which is a good implication to carry).

I changed the EMu-to-RDF mapping so that a status of 'Undetermined' in the EMu file was recognised as a distinct option and mapped to the identifier http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/UND/1.0/ (instead of just "All Rights Reserved", as it was previously).

Done and running a full ETL on csapi-test.

[f27wood]

Noting record to test once the ETL has finished:

https://csapi-test.nma.gov.au/object/33225?apikey=4EsxHzPe4aDUDUBK5B38SIWWNrTjnEIj

[f27wood]

Just looked at the test record above, and it does not include the rights statement... I am assuming the ETL has run.. so something else up?

[Conal-Tuohy]

yeah ... I am investigating this now, myself :-(

[Conal-Tuohy]

... and incidentally I've realised there's a regression error in that the "public" API doesn't filter out records in which copyright has not been evaluated:

http://nma-dev.conaltuohy.com/object/33225

... but this is a different problem.

[f27wood]

Tested with these two records

1. Copyright not yet evaluated: https://csapi-test.nma.gov.au/object/33225?apikey=4EsxHzPe4aDUDUBK5B38SIWWNrTjnEIj This is all AOK as follows

   "type" : "StillImage",
   "identifier" : "http:\/\/csapi-test.nma.gov.au\/media\/MA22876993#",
   "rights" : "http:\/\/rightsstatements.org\/vocab\/CNE\/1.0\/",
   "rightsTitle" : "Copyright not evaluated",
   "rightsReason" : "Copyright has not yet been determined; please contact the National Museum of Australia to request clearance before re-use.",
   "hasVersion" : 

2. Copyright evaluated and is undetermined: https://csapi-test.nma.gov.au/object/38677?apikey=4EsxHzPe4aDUDUBK5B38SIWWNrTjnEIj

Currenlty:

    "type" : "StillImage",
    "identifier" : "http:\/\/csapi-test.nma.gov.au\/media\/MA68824613#",
    "rights" : "http:\/\/rightsstatements.org\/vocab\/UND\/1.0\/",
    "rightsTitle" : "Copyright undetermined",
    "hasVersion" : 

Please add a rightsReason : "rightsReason" : "Copyright undetermined; please contact the National Museum of Australia to request clearance before re-use.",

[f27wood]

Oh hang on - my last comment was incorrect 2. just needs a rightsReason added. I changed this above.

[f27wood]

Hmm actually, it is OK as is.. so closing this.
