edm:WebResource

These are the properties that can be used for the class of edm:WebResource.

This means that they are attributes of the digital representation of the provided cultural heritage object, not the cultural heritage object itself.
There may be more than one edm:WebResource for each edm:ProvidedCHO. They will be linked via the ore:Aggregation using edm:hasView or one of its subproperties. One of these must be one of the mandatory properties edm:isShownAt or edm:isShownBy (and, for IMAGE objects, the link could be repeated in edm:object).

Each web resource should have its own set of properties. Europeana providers who wish to submit their IIIF 7 resources to Europeana can do so by using a small extension to the WebResource element from the Europeana Data Model. More details are available in the Guidelines for submitting IIIF resources for objects in EDM.

  • There are no mandatory properties for the edm:WebResource class.

  • The recommended property is marked in dark red.

  • The optional properties are left in black.

Provide the properties in the record in the same order given in this document, since the metadata validation performed by Europeana requires this order.

Where one CHO has several web resources, shown by multiple instances of the edm:hasView property on the ore:Aggregation this property can be used to show the sequence of the objects. Each web resource (apart from the first in the sequence) should use this property to give the URI of the preceding resource in the sequence.

ref

0....n

edm:rights

The value in this element will indicate the copyright, usage and access rights that apply to this digital representation. It is strongly recommended that a value is supplied for this property for each instance of a web resource.

The value for the rights statement in this element must be a URI from the list of available values. Note: rights statements must be exactly as specified there, which means they must start with http and not https.

The rights statement specified at the level of the web resource will ‘override’ the statement specified at the level of the aggregation.

<edm:rights rdf:resource=“http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/”/>
<edm:rights rdf:resource=“http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/”/>
Or create a reference to an instance of the cc:License class where additional details of the rights can be provided (such as an expiry date for the restrictions):
http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-NC/1.0/

or
<edm:rights rdf:resource="#statement_3000095353971"/>

This is a recommended property.
