Summary of the collection from a rights perspective:

  • Radio program recordings
  • Artists reading their own works or other works
  • Live music - often the Radio Haiti donors know these folks.
  • RH used music all the time interstitially - sometimes its famous music, sometimes not, the radio station did not always follow rules on this.
    • sometimes its a whole song, sometimes just a chunk.
    • sometimes the songs have a political meaning or undertone.
    • sometimes Laura can identify the songs and sometimes she cannot
  • Lots of commercials
  • Live coverage of a trial
  • Occasionally there are recordings from other radio stations including death threats


Rights statements in the metadata right now - this is primarily for the songs not the interviews.

  • Radio Haiti exclusive rights - we assume that this covers all the interviews w/ no songs.

  • Radio Haiti not exclusive - rights have been cleared

  • Radio Haiti not exclusive - rights not cleared

  • Small amount of copyrighted material w/ notable copyright holders

    • Johnathan Demme
  • Not yet determined

  • Exclusive rights description:
    • in copyright
    • the deed of gift asks to be contacted for commercial use, but users are not granted explicit non-commercial uses. This means listening and accessing the recordings are great. No specific permission for creating new works. Fair use is fine.
    • The donor doesn't seem concerned about the use of the materials and copyright.
    • Michele wants the collection to be as accessible as possible.
    • Creative Commons license?
      • Suggest CC-By-Non-commercial: requires attribution and they need to contact for commercial use.
      • If we want to apply a CC license, we would need to ask Michele, because she claims to be the sole owner of the collection according to the deed of gift.
      • Action item: ask for the CC-BY-NC license. Laura and Craig.

Was Radio Haiti every incorporated? Was it a legal entity?

  • Laura is pretty sure it was just Jean D, and now Michele.

DECISION:

  • For All items w/ radio haiti rights - get a CC license - CC-BY-NC
  • recordings labeled as exclusive are primarily RH programming
  • Include a rights note that says something about RH content being under the CC-BY-NC license, but there may be some other stuff mixed in because it was a radio station.
  • Make sure the note and license tightly coupled - along w/ downloads as well. More to think about.

For clearly under copyright:

  • will need to work w/ Dave on the specific examples.
  • do not launch at first - but work w/ Dave on each case

Feedback

  • Language code: use Haitian Creole (Haitian French Creole - is the WRONG TERM - very political)
  • is part of: there will be only one and it won't display here - these will appear under the related items at the bottom.
  • Rights - field 1 will have a URI and icon
  • Rights notes: will include the disclaimer
  • Program name: we like it!
  • Alt titles: when they are the same in all 3 languages, leave them blank and alt title will not appear
  • Index everything - there are no new fields here.
  • Date: not possible to display as numbers for this collection. Would like it to be more internationally accessible.
    • Date will benefit from internationalization features.


Outstanding to dos:

  • Laura needs to designate an official title - make a separate column for preferred title
    • be sure to MOVE the title into the new column - do not leave it in old place
  • Cory/Maggie: make sure the relator fields are set up properly
  • Cory/Maggie: make language facetable - unclear if this would be done done in June, but it would apply retrospectively.



Other topics for 2-3pm:

  • Timing re: post June collection additions
  • Batch footprints
  • other?

Subsequent Launches:

  • We can set a timeline for launch subsequent batches once we do the first batch.
  • Whatever is done on March 1 will be the batch of material that goes live in June.
  • Initial batch should be about 1.75 TB
