Introduction to the Problem
Many kinds of archive content have property rightsarchive content have property rights on it– Copyright
• on Literary, Artistic and Scientific Works– Neighbouring Rights (also “Related Rights”, “Sui Generis Rights”)
• on Performances, Databases, SW Programs (Scientific Data), Traditional Culture Expressions (Cultural Data)
– Industrial Property Right• on Scientific Inventions, Discoveries, Trademarks, Industrial Designs
which impose limitations• Explicit authorization is required by the right holders or by the Legislation
to the actions • Distribute, Copy (Reproduce), Modify, License to third parties, …
taken by people • Taken by the Curator • Taken by an End-User
Scenario 1
• Requirement – To capture and preserve all Provenance events that originated the rights

• Objective: “User-friendly” Creation of PDI (Provenance)1. Life Cycle of the work ‘Spaces of Mind’
2. Intellectual Property Rights on ‘Spaces of Mind’

Digital Rights Ontology
A Domain ontology – About Intellectual Property
Rights
– To describe all aspects that are relevant to evaluate rights
– Attributes of rights– Validity in time and space– Laws and Agreements– People– Actions– Licenses– Constraints and
Conditions– …
– Harmonized with CIDOC CRM and FRBRoo
Core DRO entitiesCore DRO entities
• Goal – Demonstrate that the system withstands changes in Law
• Scenario:– An amendment to a Copyright Law clarifies who can be
considered a performer, hence eligible to related rights
• Current IPR Law No. 92–597 of July 1, 1992, Art. 212-1 says:“… persons who act, sing, deliver, declaim, play in or otherwise perform literary or artistic works, variety, circus or puppet acts.”
• A hypothetical amendment could extend the definition of performers
including also people who project and interpret acousmatic sound files
We have more rightholders

Change in Law (2)Differencies between Legal Frameworks
Description:
• European Parliament voted in April 2009 for the extension of sound performers’ rights
– From 50 to 70 years post mortem
• EU states have two years time to transpose the EU directive into national law– Hypothesis: At time X, France has implemented the law, but the
Czech Republic has not yet
Goal:– The rights on the various works are interpreted correctly tacking
into consideration the discrepancies in the different countries introduced by the change in Law
DRM Validation
• Checked suitability of the Digital Rights Ontology to represent rights
– Against real examples from INA (FR) and CIANT (CZ)• Intellectual Property Rights properly validated
• Licensed permissions NOT validated
– Demonstrated the interoperability of the Rights Ontology with other standard or well-known ontologies
• CIDOC CRM and FRBRoo
– Obtained mainly positive reviewers’ feedback on paper accepted at ECDL 2009
• About Digital Rights Ontology and its use to describe and preserve rights
• Tested capability of a CASPAR archive to handle changes of rights– By withstanding changes in Law, considering multiple legal frameworks
• Contributed to the State of the Art in Digital Preservation– Accepted the proposal to have a new PDI section in OAIS : Access Rights
