DDEX ERN 4.3.2 models recording credits and rights with Contributor (role, credited flag, AiContribution All/None/Partly, defaulting to All for a GenerativeAI special contributor), DisplayArtist, WorkId and ResourceRightsController (share, delegated use, territory, period); these AI fields are absent from the ERN 4.3 schema read, and the value sets add a UseType for GenerativeAI training. DDEX guidance says rights belong in RightsController, not Deals, yet tells recipients to follow ReleaseDeal when both state ownership (tension kept).
