Each of the 12 RightsStatements.org 1.0 URIs returns JSON-LD under content negotiation (all dated 2022-04-27, version 1.0). The machine layer is thin: closeMatch links on 4 statements, relatedMatch on 10, and a CommercialUse prohibition only on InC-NC and NoC-NC; InC-EDU's educational permission exists only in prose (an ODRL prefix is declared but unused). The technical white paper says URIs are opaque to machines and requires HTML5+RDFa, JSON-LD and Turtle representations. So software can classify a status but cannot read most permissions from the data.
