The metadata elements clustered under Rights and Use Restrictions group together the intellectual property rights and conditions of use for a media item. In many circumstances, the information that is gathered and reported under rights and use restrictions only tracks data about the rights holder and about how the end user can use or repurpose a media item or piece of content. However, the UEN Digital Media Service desires to more aggresively manage the various rights restrictions and obligations which are attached to the media items they obtain, either themselves or through licensees and external vendors. Consequently, several dozen metadata fields have been distilled from an open source digital rights initiative supported by the W3C and folded into UMAP. Most of this information is valuable for its searchability by UEN DMS administrators and its incorporation into Telescope functional rules that bind dates and rights to specific audiences under time periods of use or termination. |

The UMAP rights data is drawn from the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) that is a tool for... "Digital Rights Management (DRM) involves the description, layering, analysis, valuation, trading and monitoring of the rights over an enterprise's tangible and intangible assets. DRM covers the digital management of rights - be they rights in a physical manifestation of a work (eg a book), or be they rights in a digital manifestation of a work (eg an ebook). Current methods of managing, trading and protecting such assets are inefficient, proprietary, or else often require the information to be wrapped or embedded in a physical format. A key feature of digitally managing rights will be the substantial increase in re-use of digital material on the Internet as well as the increased efficiency for physical material. The pervasive Internet is changing the nature of distribution of digital media from a passive one way flow (from Publisher to the End User) to a much more interactive cycle where creations are re-used, combined and extended ad infinitum. At all stages, the rights need to be managed and honoured with trusted services. Current DRM technologies include languages for describing the terms and conditions, tracking asset usages by enforcing controlled environments or encoded asset manifestations, and closed architectures for the overall management of rights. The Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) provides the semantics for DRM expressions in open and trusted environments whilst being agnostic to mechanisms to achieve the secure architectures." W3C ODRL UMAP takes into consideration the following components and analyses to assist the UEN DMS Service in managing and tracking compliance with distribution rights, repurposing rights, and expiration dates.... 1. Copyright (creation/publication dates & status, copyright owner), 2. Rights Stakeholders (creators, owners, vendors, licensees, and distributors), 3. Permissions (available rights to the licensees; "What end users can do with a media item?"), 4. Contraints (limitations on available rights to the licensees; "What end users can't do with a media item?"), and 5. Compliance Requirements/Obligations (licensee obligations in order to comply with Permissions and Contraints that are set forth; "What must an end user do to be able to use a media item?" ). 6. End Users (parties expected to consume or use the media items), 7. Citation (a bibliographic-like attribution associated with the origins of a content or media item) _________________________ PERMISSIONS typically include the following components: Permissions metadata specifies the actual usages or activities allowed or transferable over or with a media item in its entirety or as an extract harvested from the original. The information found under "Permissions" answers the question "What can an end user do with a media item?" 1. ASSET UNIQUE ID and TITLE 2. USAGE PERMISSIONS - indicates a set of methods in which a media item can be consumed. a. Display: The act of rendering the asset onto a visual device. b. Execute: The act of executing the asset. c. Play: The act of rendering the asset into audio/video form. d. Print: The act of rendering the asset onto paper or hard copy form. e. Perform: The act of reading, acting, enacting, presenting, or rendering a performance of a media item, public or private. 3. REUSE PERMISSIONS - indicates a set of operations in which the Asset (or portions of it) can be re-purposed. a. Aggregate: The act of using an asset (or parts of it) as part of a composite work or collection. b. Annotate: The act of adding notations/commentaries to the asset creating a new asset. c. Excerpt: The act of extracting (replicating) unchanged parts (or all) of the asset for reuse into another asset. d. Modify: The act of changing parts of the asset creating a new asset. e. Copy/Download: The act of making a copy of the original media item for subsequent consumption or archiving, often times done via a download over the Internet. 4. TRANSFER PERMISSIONS - indicates a set of procedures in which the rights over the media item can be transferred. a. Give: The act of allowing the asset to be given away (ownership transfer) in perpetuity without exchange of value. b. Lease: The act of allowing the asset to be made available for a fixed period of time then returned (for exchange of value). During this period, the asset is only available to the lessee. c. Lend: The act of allowing the asset to be made available for temporary use then returned (without exchange of value). During this period, the asset is only available to the lendee. d. Sell: The act of allowing the asset to be sold (ownership transfer) in exchange of value. e. Barter: The act of allowing the media item to be traded (ownership transfer) in exchange for some other commodity of perceived comparable value. _________________________ CONSTRAINTS typically include the following components... Contraints metadata articulates the constraints that limit the permissions granted for using a media item. The information found under "Constraints" answers the question "What can't an end user do with a media item?" 1. ASSET UNIQUE ID and TITLE 2. SIZE OF AUDIENCE - indicates a set of constraints that limits usage to a predefined audience size. a. Individual: An identifiable party acting as an individual. Use WHO MAY USE THIS MEDIA ITEM to identify the actual individual(s). b. Group: A number of identifiable parties acting as a collection of individuals.

CPU: An identifiable computing system with a central processing unit (CPU). Use Context to identify the device. b. Hardware: An identifiable generic hardware device. Use Context to identify the device. c. Memory: An identifiable memory device. For example, the clipboard. Use Context to identify the device. d. Network: An identifiable data network. Use Context to identify the device. Use Range to indicate the IP Address restriction. e. Printer: An identifiable hard copy printer. Use Context to identify the device. f. Screen: An identifiable display output screen device. For example, a screen reader or braille device. Use Context to identify the device. g. Software: An identifiable software application that must be present. Use Context to identify the device. h. Storage: An identifiable storage media device. For example, a hard disk or removable cartridge. Use Context to identify the device. 4. BOUNDS - indicates a set of constraints which limits usage to a fixed number or extent/coverage. a. Count: A numeric count indicating the number of times the corresponding entity may be exercised. b. Range: A numeric range indicating the min/max values of the corresponding entity that the constraint applies to. Contains the following sub entities: min-the beginning of the range (inclusive) and max-the end of the range (inclusive). c. Spatial: Specification of a geographic area(s) or territory over which the rights can be excercised. 5. TEMPORAL - indicates a set of constraints which limits usage to temporal boundaries. a. Date(s): A date and/or time-based range. Contains the following sub entities: • start - the beginning of the range (inclusive) • end - the end of the range (inclusive) • fixed - an exact point in date/time b. Accumulated Time or Period: The maximum period of metered usage time, e.g, 90 days or 8 hours. 6. TARGET - indicates a set of constraints which limits usage to where and how the asset is used. a. Purpose: Specification of a specific purpose to which the usage is constrained. b. Industry,Group, or Venue: Specification of a specific industry, group, or venue to which the usage is constrained. _________________________ COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS/OBLIGATIONS typically include the following components... Compliance Requirements metadata specifies the obligations needed to exercise the Permission (e.g., Pay $5 each time you Play the video; or Publish an attribution or credit statement). The information found under "Compliance Requirements/Obligations" answers the question "What must an end user do to be able to use a media item?" 1. ASSET UNIQUE ID and TITLE 2. FEE - indicates a set of requirements for payments for usage. a. PrePay: The amount due prior to the granting/use of the rights. Use Payment entity. Temporal constraints may also be used. b.

Use the descriptor COPYRIGHT DATE to specify the creation date for a particular version or rendition of a media item across its life cycle. It is the moment in time that the media item was finalized during its production process and is forwarded to other divisions or agencies to make it ready for publication or distribution. The creation date is most often the same as the registered or unregistered date of copyright. On occassion, a specific month and day may also be associated with the date. |

The COPYRIGHT DATE refers to the creation date for a particular version or rendition of a media item across its entire life cycle. A specific time may also be associated the date. Under most circumstances, the Copyright Date is restricted to a YYYY (four-digit year) designation without a MM (month) or DD (day). Do not confuse the COPYRIGHT DATE with the dates and times identified in the descriptor kw_covtemp_timeperiod. A copyright date refers to the moment in time that the media item was finalized during its production process and forwarded to other divisions or agencies to make it ready for publication or distribution. The information found in the "coverage temporal timeperiod" metadata field describes the time-bound identifiers for the intellectual content found within a media item, e.g., a photograph taken of the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor might have a creation date of December 9, 1941 (1941-12-09), but an intellectual content time stamp of December 7, 1941 (1941-12-07). DATE FORMATTING: A properly formatted date uses the W3C-DTF encoding rules for dates and times, a profile based on ISO 8601. The format consists of an ASCII date string of 10 characters for the standard date format YYYY-MM-DD (1998-01-24). •Year (YYYY) is defined as 0000 to 9999. •Month (MM) is defined as 01 to 12. •Day (DD) is defined as 01 to 28, 29, 30 or 31 as applicable. •The separator between date fields is a hyphen, (-). If a date is approximate, add a question mark, e.g., 1922? .If the full date is unknown, month and year (YYYY-MM) or just year (YYYY) may be used. |
