Description

The copyright holder of different Expressions may differ, particulary in cases where an author has signed signed over copyright to the publisher of a particular Expression. Different publishers have different policies on deposit into repositories. A service exists that holds information about these policies. Having established who owns the copyright, an aggregator may wish to use information about copyright holder to interrogate such a service and provide additional information about deposit policies.
