License Details (//availability/licence)

License details are contained in individual <availability> elements within the Publication Statement, which in turn each receive exactly one <licence> subelement. The @target attribute of the <licence> element contains an URL as value, which leads to a specification of the stated license. Further natural language information about the license is possible in a <p>-element within <licence>.

Multiple License Details in the teiHeader

In the <availability> elements of the Publication Statement, licenses for all image and text originals of the DTA publication as well as the license for the DTA text edition itself are specified.

Each <availability> element gets a unique @xml:id. Via a @corresp attribute it is connected to the element that contains information about the respective licensee. This can be either a Responsibility Statement (<respStmt>) which contains information on the underlying digitized text copy, or a Manuscript Description (<msDesc>) which contains information on image originals. (For the Responsibility Statement, see chap. Dealing with External Sources; for Manuscript Description see chap. Information on the Source's Depository.
