@alexduryee , this seems like a reasonable and uncontroversial suggested edit to the EAD3 tag library. Would you be able to make the change that Mike suggests to the TEI?
Here is the current entry for rightsdeclaration: https://www.loc.gov/ead/EAD3taglib/EAD3.html#elem-rightsdeclaration
Just as a thought, picking up on the question of how to use <descriptivenote>
. I'd think, it might be a useful to e.g. add a short text (in this case taken from the "human-readable summary of the Legal Code" as promoted on the Creative Commons website to actually tell users what the licence means for them.
In this case, the example given above could be extended to:
<control><rightsdeclaration><abbr>
CC0</abbr><citation href="https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/">
CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0)</citation><descriptivenote><p>
This work has been dedicated to the public domain, meaning that you can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.</p></descriptivenote></rightsdeclaration></control>
I like Kerstin's suggestion. A definite improvement to the proposed example.
I filed a pull request for this change - https://github.com/karinbredenberg/EAS-TagLibraries/pull/6 - which uses Mike and Kerstin's language for rightsdeclaration
.
Closing this issue as having been dealt with as part of EAD3 1.1.1 (https://github.com/SAA-SDT/EAS-TagLibraries/pull/48)

And descriptivenote should be used for any additional explanatory text, not all explanatory text.

` must be used to provide a machine-readable reference to a license statement (for example, a dereferenceable URI). It may also be used to encode the name of the license statement.
