NOTICE

The DCDR Framework is currently a work in progress.

About

A research focused on establishing a technical description of the Rights that need to be applied to data to extend its lifecycle.

The Digital Rights Taxonomy

The DCDR Digital Harms informs the work for the DCDR Digital Rights.

The next step in the DCDR Framework is establishing the different Rights to be proactively applied over a data structure to expand an object's lifecycle to and arrange it under a taxonomy.

For technologists to adopt a Rights-protecting paradigm, they need to be able to technically describe the different Digital Harms they will want to avoid and, as a result the, Digital Rights they wish to observe.

• establishing the DCDR Use Cases Taxonomy
