<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Christine,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As one of the participants in the small group that pulled together the specification for the enhancement to rights statements, I don’t think we ever considered this use case (speaking only for myself, I wasn’t even aware it was possible
to add a rights statement to an Agent record). My personal take is that the spec would need to be substantially rewritten if we were to include rights statements for Agents, so I’d be in favor of removing this functionality.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have another question related to the upcoming enhancement of the rights statements sub-record in ArchivesSpace. Is anyone creating rights statements attached to agents?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently the application allows you to create a rights statement sub-record from an Agent record. This could be interpreted as being the rights for the agent him/her/themselves, rather than for specific material. We believe this may have
been done in error. There has been a longstanding feature request to enable someone to see a list of the materials for which a particular agent holds rights, but not allow a rights sub-record to be created for an agent:
<a href="https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1297">https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1297</a>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The new model will allow for agents to be linked from rights statements attached to accessions, resources, or digital objects. (See
<a href="https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-112">https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-112</a>) In addition to being PREMIS-compliant, we think this may also have been the original intent.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But I’m interested to hear if and how people have used the capability to create a rights statement for an agent in ArchivesSpace. If you could no longer create a rights statement for an agent, would this cause a problem?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any input, positive or negative!<o:p></o:p></p>
