I am setting the copyright using XMP-dc:Rights. Shall I then also set xmpRights:Marked to 'True' ?
Or is xmpRights:Marked a different story ?

An argument for not setting xmpRights:Marked is that I do not set any other property from the XMP Rights Management namespace.
The other properties are:

  • xmpRights:Certificate
  • xmpRights:Owner
  • xmpRights:UsageTerms
  • xmpRights:WebStatement

Adobe's definition of the XMP Rights Management namespace:
QuoteThe XMP Rights Management namespace contains properties that provide information regarding the legal restrictions associated with a resource.

Adobe's definition of xmpRights:Marked:
QuoteWhen true, indicates that this is a rights-managed resource. When false, indicates that this is a public-domain resource. Omit if the state is unknown.

Does rights-managed refer only to the XMP Rights Management namespace, or does rights-managed also refer to XMP-dc:Rights in the Dublin Core namespace ?

The best way to answer this is to see what Photoshop does.  Photoshop CS4 sets XMP-xmpRights:Marked only if the "Copyright Status" is set:

Copyright Status xmpRights:Marked
Unknown-
Copyrightedtrue
Public Domainfalse
