We declare our intended license for each digital object that we manage in our systems. Information about License rights held in and over the resource may describes the conditions under which the work may be used, distributed, reproduced, etc., how these conditions may change over time, and whom to contact regarding the copyright of the work.

It cannot be assumed that the rights holder is the same as the institution and it cannot be assumed that a resource will always have the same rights holder. (though in many cases this is true).
