A Rights Expression Language for Federated Repositories

Abstract
We will reveal the most common characteristics found in twelve institutional repository deposit licenses and measure whether existing Rights Expression Languages (RELs) are suitable for expressing those characteristics in a machine-readable manner. The creation or adaptation of a REL to express repository and depositor rights and responsibilities is important, as repositories of scholarly content are increasingly included in federations that aggregate content but do not provide straightforward ways to deposit content.
