Decentralising the Digital Rights Management Value Chain by means of Distributed License Catalogues

چکیده
Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems’ interoperability is becoming one of the main obstacles for their wider adoption, especially from medium and small size users. Interoperability issues affect, among others, the management of content usage rules by third parties (authorities) and the automation of licensing procedures upon the purchase of digital content. The fundamental question of who is handling content licenses in the national or global DRM value chain is complex, with business, social and technological extensions. In this paper, we discuss current trends in DRM systems technology and business modelling and briefly present a proposal for handling digital content licensing, Distributed License Catalogues (DLCs). The DLC concept, borrowed from web engineering, makes available (“advertises”) content or services concerning DRM functionalities, enabling multi-party

متن کاملMultimedia Content Distribution Governed by Ontology-Represented Contracts
Multimedia content can be digitally distributed in a B2B and in a B2C context. While B2C distribution has been successfully governed by means of digital licenses, B2B transfers have received less attention. These digital licenses have been expressed in standard RELs (Rights Expression Language) and they can be seen as the electronic replacement of distribution contracts and end user licenses. H...
