An embargo is a temporary access restriction placed on metadata or bitstreams. Its scope or duration may vary, but the fact that it eventually expires is what distinguishes it from other content restrictions. For example, it is not unusual for content destined for DSpace to come with permanent restrictions on use or access based on license-driven or other IP-based requirements that limit access to institutionally affiliated users. Restrictions such as these are imposed and managed using standard administrative tools in DSpace, typically by attaching specific policies to Items, Collections, Bitstreams, etc. Embargo functionality was originally introduced as part of DSpace 1.6, enabling embargo's embargoes on the level of items that applied to all bitstreams included in the item. In DSpace 3.0, this functionality has been extended for the XML User Interface, enabling embargo's embargoes on the level of individual bitstreams.
