Managing digital rights using JSON

Abstract

Prior art in the expression of digital rights using XML is demonstrated to require a process of interpretation or parsing, as is characteristic with language processing, and in addition to be subject to the cross-domain scripting problem. The expression of digital rights using JSON, however, represents a novel approach, bypassing the need for language processing, and in addition, solving the cross-domain scripting problem.

Digital Rights Management Metadata and Standards
Eun G. Park

Encyclopedia of Information Ethics and Security

In the digital world, several ways to organize and describe digital rights management (DRM) have been developed to enforce fairness and transparency in business trades. Metadata is beginning to serve this purpose as it attempts to address property rights, licensing, privacy, and confidentiality issues in a manner that ideally renders information or content easily accessible over a variety of platforms (Koenen, 2001). With the rise of security breaches and computer crimes such as identity theft, DRM is increasingly an issue for creators, content owners, purveyors, and consumers of all sorts of digital materials. This article defines what DRM is and explains how it is implemented into description and assessment in practical metadata schemes. DRM components are discussed, in particular those related to identification and rights expression. The two commonly used standards of describing DRM are discussed with Open Mobile Alliance and MPEG-21 (Rosenblatt, 2005). Issues and problems of met...

LicenseScript: A Novel Digital Rights Language
Yee Wei Law

International Journal of Chemical Reactor Engineering, 2003

We propose LicenseScript as a new multi-set rewriting/logic based language for expressing dynamic conditions of use of digital assets such as music, video or private data. LicenseScript differs from the other DRM languages in that it caters for the intentional but legal manipulation of data. We believe this feature is the answer to providing the flexibility needed to support emerging usage paradigms of digital data.

Gracias Rosa, sin ti esta tesis no hubiese visto la luz. Gracias a mis padres, hermana, abuelos, tíos... siempre me habéis motivado a seguir. Recién acabada la presentación del proyecto final de carrera ya me preguntabais por lo que vendría después. Gracias a mi director de tesis, Jaime Delgado, sobretodo por aquella recomendación a finales de 1999 sobre que me mirase algo llamado RDF... ahí empezó todo. I would also like to acknowledge the following people. Aldo Gangemi, Jos Lehmann, Carola Catenacci, Massimiliano Ciaramita, Daniela Tiscornia and Maria Teresa Sagri for their feedback during the Legal Modelling Seminar held in Rome on June 2005. John F. Sowa for his encouraging comment about the "State of the Art" part. And Adam Pease for his comments about the mapping to SUMO.

Ipronto: An ontology for digital rights management
Silvia Llorente

16th Annual Conference on …, 2003

Ontologies are a way to express semantics of concepts in a formal way. IPROnto is an ontology of the Digital Rights Management (DRM) domain. It has been specified to facilitate the development of e-commerce applications that need to be aware of rights associated to specific multimedia content. The paper describes the ontology and its possible uses. Since we started this work in the context of MPEG-21 standardisation, we are currently progressing in the development of applications that follow the DRM MPEG-21 standards, such as a REL (Rights Expression Language) and a RDD (Rights Data Dictionary), and aligning our ontology to those specifications. 1

The problem with rights expression languages
Ivan Martinez-Ortiz

2006

In this paper we consider the functionality that a rights expression language (REL) should provide within a digital rights management (DRM) environment. We begin by noting the dearth of applications that make use of RELs, despite the fact that they have now been available since the late 1990's. We posit that one of the main impediments to the use of RELs is the complexity associated with understanding and using them. This results from the fact that the functionality needed to handle a wide variety of possible DRM scenarios is typically built into a REL, and it is often difficult to cleanly partition out only those pieces needed by a particular DRM application. Basing DRM system design on a layered architecture provides one way of achieving a partitioning and points to the need for a simple REL that is exclusively responsible for the expression of rights, while pushing much of the functionality found in current RELs into higher system layers. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of this approach, we provide an example implementation dealing with DRM-based negotiations.

Translation between XML-based rights expressions using UML and relational models
Silvia Llorente

… Production of Cross …, 2006

Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems interoperability is needed in order to be able to support different business models on different distribution channels. There are several steps to be taken for providing interoperability. We have decided to take as a first step the translation of rights expressions from language to language. This translation will allow cross content consumption between different DRM systems and devices, permitting to users to buy a content governed with rights expressions written in one anguage and supported by a DRM system and consume it in a different DRM system supporting a different language.

An architecture for the interoperability between Rights Expression Languages based on XACML
Jaime Delgado

Proceedings of the 7th …, 2009

None of the current initiatives to provide interoperability between Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems, such as CORAL or Marlin [13], provide a global solution to enable different devices to render content governed by different DRM systems. Interoperability applies to different aspects of DRM, such as languages for rights expression, digital objects declaration and protection information declaration. We focus on the interoperability between Rights Expressions Languages (RELs). In this area, we have already done some work, including the definition of profiles for the MPEG-21 REL standard. Based on those profiles for specific domains (such as the mobile or broadcasting ones), a couple of approaches have been developed for interoperability between licenses in different RELs, such as the use of extensible style sheets transformations or the use of high level modelling schemas. In order not to be restricted to specific profiles, this paper presents a solution based on the use of a XACML system based architecture to achieve interoperability between RELs. We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed solution showing that the main elements of rights expressions can be expressed in XACML policies without loss of information. Furthermore, instead of translating between different RELs through an intermediate one, we directly map to XACML and perform the authorisation with it. In this way, we do not lose any information conveyed in the input REL.

LicenseScript: A Logical Language for Digital Rights Management
Yee Wei Law

2006

We propose LicenseScript, a language for digital rights management (DRM) based on multiset rewriting and logic programming. LicenseScript enjoys a precise syntax and semantics, and it is rich enough to embed other rights expression languages (REL). We show that LicenseScript is expressive and flexible by exploring several application domains representing different aspects of DRM. We present an implementation. Finally, we extend the core of the language to account for multiple devices in authorized domains.
