How does Europeana's own rights-statement set relate to RightsStatements.org, and what should an agent expect to see in Europeana records?

Europeana accepts 14 rights values: Creative Commons licences and tools plus six RightsStatements.org statements (InC, InC-EDU, InC-OW-EU, NoC-NC, NoC-OKLR, CNE); InC-RUU, NoC-US, NoC-CR, UND and NKC are not in its list. It states rights statements are not licences, discourages CNE (the RS vocabulary itself describes CNE neutrally) and requires providers' best efforts, warning that a wrong public-domain label misleads users. RS JSON-LD closeMatch links point at legacy Europeana rights URIs (InC to europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/, CNE to /rights/unknown/, InC-OW-EU to /rights/orphan-work-eu/; InC-NC to CC BY-NC 4.0), so legacy and RS URIs may both appear in older data. Curator qualifications: Vocabulary records, white paper and pages read 2026-10-22; no metadata record created or validated; not legal advice. Accepted-URI wiki list (Atlassian) not readable (producer); page snapshot dates 2026-07. Limitations: Vocabulary records, white paper and pages read 2026-10-22; no metadata record created or validated; not legal advice. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
