abstract: As digital preservation practice has matured, our understanding of what is covered by the Rights landscape broadened significantly. However, the Rights entity in the PREMIS data model has not kept pace with these changes, undergoing only minor revisions. In 2019, the PREMIS Editorial Committee formed a working group on Rights to review how the entity could be changed to better reflect the evolving use cases of our community. The initial phase of this work has involved gathering use cases in order to perform a gap analysis with the current definition of Rights within the PREMIS model. Ahead of an official White Paper describing the scope of the revisions to be considered, this paper presents a discussion of the use cases that have informed this work, and the gaps we have identified, before briefly outlining the next steps to be taken.
