                        Data elements that are in the form of a date are defined as instances of the year.definition. The year.definition is a simple string with an attribute, year.type. year.type allows the coding of the level of precision of the year, such as "exact" or "approximate" or "unknown".
                
                
                        
                                
                                        
                                                Provides additional information about the year encoded. Three (3) enumerated values enforced by the copyrightMD schema: "exact", "approximate", and "unknown".

Institutions are encouraged to use a standard thesaurus for the form of name supplied. Input the data directly within this element. Use the available attribute, if desired, to encode a machine-readable standard code for the name of the country. This element can also be used as an empty element, with data provided only as an attribute value.

The resource does not have to have been registered with the copyright office. Institutions should not approximate copyright year if it does not appear on the work, or in some reliable alternate source for this information. Use the standardized form of YYYY, and do not include month or day information. Input the data directly within this element. Use the available attribute, if desired, to supply additional information about the copyright year encoded. This element can also be used as an empty element, with data provided only as an attribute value, when the copyright year is unknown or no attempt has been made by the institution to encode this information.

This will only pertain to works that were registered with the copyright office and subsequently renewed. Such works will have a copyright date before 1964 (i.e., up to and including 1963). Institutions should not approximate the year of copyright renewal if it does not appear on the work, or in some reliable alternate source for this information. Use the standardized form of YYYY, and do not include month or day information. Input the data directly within this element. Use the available attribute, if desired, to supply additional information about the copyright year encoded. This element can also be used as an empty element, with data provided only as an attribute value, when the year of copyright renewal is unknown or no attempt has been made by the institution to encode this information.

Use this element only for information that cannot be accommodated within the parent element.
                                                                
                                                        
                                                
                                        
                                
                                
                                        
                                                Wrapper element for information about the creation of the resource. Unpublished resources are evaluated for copyright status based on the year of creation and the country in which creation occurred. Use primarily for unpublished resources, but can also be used for published resources if creation information is known and significant to the copyright analysis. Data values must be encoded in subelements.

This is crucial information for making a copyright determination for an unpublished resource created by a corporate entity, or when the death date of an individual responsible for the creation of the resource is unknown. Use the standardized form of YYYY, and do not include month or day information. Input the data directly within this element. Use the available attribute, if desired, to supply additional information about the year of creation encoded. This element can also be used as an empty element, with data provided only as an attribute value, when the year of creation is unknown or no attempt has been made by the institution to encode this information.

                                                Wrapper element for information about the creator(s) of the resource. Use primarily for unpublished resources, but can also be used for published resources if creation information is known and significant to the copyright analysis. Data values must be encoded in subelements.

For unpublished resources created by an individual (or individuals), information regarding her/his death date is critical for evaluating copyright status. Families, though viable creators of resources, are not legally recognized as such in terms of copyright analysis. If a family name is the only name available as a creator of a resource, treat as an unknown creator in terms of copyright metadata and provide relevant information about the family in the descriptive metadata for the resource. Data values must be encoded in subelements.
