RightsML

Publishers need to express rights on the uses of contentOften need to enforce rights on behalf of 3rd parties

Clients need to know permissions and restrictionsRights are a key criteria for selecting content

RightsML is an IPTC standard, based on ODRLhttp://dev.iptc.org/RightsML

http://www.w3.org/community/odrl

Express machine readable permissions, restrictions and dutiesDerived from media industry requirements

Mainly from AP, NLA, Getty, WSJ, Newsright

Can be embedded within content (e.g. G2, ATOM) or stand alone

Designed for automatic evaluation

RightsML “Experimental Phase”


RightsML Experimental Phase• Some progress

– AP, Thomson Reuters and Getty main participants in calls– AP to release a RightsML implementation after the US elections

• Improved documentation– http://dev.iptc.org/RightsML– Lots more examples– Capturing the original requirements and use cases

• Clarifications of issues with ODRL– http://dev.iptc.org/RightsML-and-ODRL-20-2012– ODRL media type– How to identify groups of assets– How to define anonymous policies– Make flexible properties (like currency amounts) more flexible

RightsML Experimental PhaseInitial Conclusion


• Rights are complex

• But you don’t have to solve it all before you can solve something

RightsML in Binaries

• Expressing sophisticated rights in still or moving images– RightsML can accompany a binary in an XML “sidecar”– But how to inject RightsML into the binary itself?

• Isn’t XMP the solution?– No: XMP is a subset of RDF– Insufficient to express the (draft) ODRL-in-RDF

http://www.w3.org/community/semnews/2012/09/17/rdfowl-semantic-web-mapping-for-odrl-v2-0/

• A possible hack workaround?– Publisher encodes RightsML XML as CDATA “hidden” in XMP– Clients extract CDATA encoded RightsML and upconvert to XML

LCC and RDI• Linked Content Coalition

– “An initiative to improve access to, and licensing of, digital content for any media and use.”

– Launched April 2012, 40+ members, including IPTC and CEPIC– Specify the framework for rights data interoperability

• RightsML/ODRL is to be part of the interoperable framework– All content types – book, journal, news, image, sound

recordings, audiovisual, games etc.

• Rights Data Integration Project– EC funded project, to start in Jan 2013– Create a working prototype of the LCC specifications.

Spring Meeting: A Focus on Rights“Standards, rights, and data.

These are the three elements which can restrain digital growth, or propel it.”

http://www.idealog.com/blog/three-words-of-wisdom-standards-rights-data/

• Proposal: make rights a focus of the Spring meeting– Invite rights experts, from IPTC members and beyond

• Sponsor a general discussion of rights– Cover business, editorial, technical and legal issues– Not restricted to RightsML and ODRL

• Goals– Seek guidance– Gain visibility for our efforts– Build on momentum for RightsML work so far
