Rights Management / Access Control

Brad Westbrook

The more complex and heterogeneous a repository's collection, the more difficult it is to manage the rights of and access to the contents.  How are repositories capturing / expressing the rights status for the diverse objects in their collections?  What procedures are being used for updating the rights status of objects, as they change over time?  And, in echoing Seth's topic proposal, how is the rights status information being used to manage access? It would be illuminating, I think, to see the range of practice and processes used to address these matters.
