Distribution metadata (hereinafter, the Data) is the administrative metadata that designates the consumers of a work product, if those consumers are designated, and/or suggests how the designated consumers get the product and, if the distribution is restricted, no one else does.


Notice

A notice of distribution and access restrictions is a conditional part of report's front matter. The notice is included when intellectual property rights and/or state restrictions on access or use need to be specified. If the notice is included, it functions as a part of report's administrative metadata.

Copyright

Main wikipage: Copyright
Copyright is the exclusive legal right to reproduce, publish, and distribute a report or another original work that has an identifiable owner. The copyrighted work shall contain a special notice that specifies its distribution.

Limitations

The ANSI/NISO Scientific and Technical Reports standard details,
When necessary to call attention to certain aspects of a report, such as its security classification, restricted distribution, or proprietary information, appropriate notices appear on the cover and title section. For example, a notice may alert the reader that a particular report is:
  • a presentation of preliminary findings subject to revisions, or
  • a formal draft or a working paper intended to elicit comments and ideas.
If disclaimers or similar notices are needed, they appear on the inside front cover or the optional copyright page that follows the title page of a printed report. Notices may also alert the reader to certain legal conditions, for example, using brand or trade names in the report.
Generic terms are preferable to brand or trade names if scientific and technical accuracy can be maintained in using them.
A disclaimer may or may not be appropriate for government-generated reports. It is the responsibility of each organization to determine the appropriate notice for the reports it produces and to coordinate these decisions with the appropriate legal counsel. Government classified material will have specific regulations; producers should follow the regulations applicable to their government agency.

List

A distribution list is a conditional part of report's back matter. The list is included when access to the document needs to be controlled. If the notice is included, it functions as a part of document's administrative metadata.

The ANSI/NISO Scientific and Technical Reports standard details,

If included, the distribution list follows the index (or glossary, if there is no index). The list indicates the complete mailing address of the individuals and organizations receiving copies of the report and the number of copies received. The Privacy Act of 1974 forbids federal agencies from listing the names and home addresses of individuals, so in a government report a distribution list contains business addresses only. Distribution lists provide a permanent record of initial distribution. In the case of classified reports, restricted-distribution reports, and reports containing proprietary data, such lists are extremely valuable as they can be used later for communicating instructions regarding handling and classification downgrading. A distribution list is also useful if errata are discovered and changes are issued to correct a report.
