Hello everyone,

My team is interested in dedicating our metadata for the our
forthcoming data repository to the public domain. Can anyone point to
good examples of discovery/access systems that display a notice
communicating that the metadata is CC0 or otherwise in the public
domain? One display concern we have is that we don’t want end users to
potentially be misled or confused if, for instance, our metadata is
CC0, but the object in our repository is licensed as CC-BY, so any
examples of clean design approaches would be quite helpful.

Also, would anyone recommend that we address the fact that we’ve
waived any rights to our metadata in a repository-level policy, or
would a CC0 mark displayed somewhere appropriate be enough?

Thanks in advance for any insight,

Elise Dunham
