Registered Commons, Creative Commons and Safe Creative address the challenger for copyright interoperability and the potential from our users point of view. OSCRI seems to be the right answer.

1. Copyright Registries 2.0
Standardization and Interoperability

2. Our users understand the need of open licenses,
UGC services and the value of copyright registries.
However...
...they mostly ask for reliability and interoperability
between all this services.
This will grant a future for their contents and rights.

3. Registries, UGC services,
licenses providers, etc...
need to foster some rules to
achieve:
• Reliability
• Scalability
• Compliance
• Standardization of
protocols and
technologies
quot;Standardizationquot; by Xoan Porto CC by-nd-nc

4. There are many good initiatives and
we need to:
• Avoid a Babel Tower
• Build sinergies
• Avoid duplication of efforts
• Find benefits from what is done
quot;Towerquot; by Chidorian (cc) by-sa

5. If we work together we can:
• Detect and anticipate problems
• Provide better access to
culture
• Match new challenges: multi-
authorship, new business
models, data web, clearance
services...
• Deal with misuses and
misclaims

6. Can online registries be used as pointers that
facilitate relevant information about contents?
• RDFa - ccREL
• Up to date authomatic resolution of licenses
• Authors, their works and licenses involved
• Improved advanced metadata
• Cross information between systems

7. We need/want an open and independent group
to get together all the different organizations of
this new scenario.

8. Now is the time to add and promote standards
for everybody. OSCRI is our proposal (Open
Standards for Copyright Registry
Interoperability).

9. OSCRI aims to help to foster online registries
interoperability and standardization.

10. Goals:
• Analize possibilities and synergies
• Achieve a same language when dealing with
online registries
• Optimize the already proposed solutions
• Propose and perform solutions when needed

11. In OSCRI.org we want to:
• Invite organizations
• Analyze the best way to build this organization
• Create a solid infrastructure to work with
• Create protocols and good agile governance

12. This is a possible plan:
• A period until March 2009 to gather groups and
decide the best way to work OSCRI out
depending on the goals we set.
• Raise funds if needed.
• March/April 2009 formal meeting and
presentation of the working group/entity.
• April 2009 start working (and start discussions)

13. Copyright Registries 2.0
Standardization and Interoperability
Part II

14. Challenges
• Establishing policies for registries
• Determining best use practices
• Registry Authority and standardization
• Add value to the VALUE CHAIN
As new registries emerge, clear standards for trust and security should emerge.

15. Registered Commons Features
• Registering digital works of any type since 2006
• Using CC API to pre-select license
• Time-Stamp Service (provided by A-Cert) trusted 3rd party
• Timestamp allows proof of publication date & time
• Unique certificate as an enhanced Commons Deed
• Author may define Moral Rights
• Each work can be commented or WIKId
• Verification of authors identity - email and CaCert trust levels
• Rich Metadata Set - RDF
A registration service offers added value to the open content community. Both
creators and users may benefit, if reliable licensing is required.

16. Moving Forward
adding value
• Limited free and paid registrations
• New Business Models - vouchers for universities and
chambers of commerce
• Branded versions of RC - CreativDepot
• CCplus and 3rd party content clearing service with
Buy4Commons option

17. Moving Forward

18. Moving Forward

19. Standardisation of Registries
• RC has integrated IFPIs GRid (Global Release
Identifier) concept
• We could use Globally Unique Identifiers for each
(independent) registry
• A Registration Authority is needed for standardization
amongst other registries
• DMP approach - Worth looking at
Registries already have standards in library, music and film industry.

20. Digital Media Project (DMP) Approach
• Digital technologies are an asset
• Creators, intermediaries and end-users should all
benefit from them
• Goal can be achieved through standardisation of
protocols between value-chain users and formats of
data exchanged
The Digital Media Project was established in 2003 by Leonardo Chariglione, the MPEG founder.
See http://www.dmpf.org/

21. Objective for Content Identification
Value-Chains rely on the guaranteed
• Integrity of Entities, e.g. Devices
• Identity of Entities, e.g. Content, Metadata
Process:
• Registry mechanism (like DMP) selects and
appoints Authorities
• Authorities appoint Agencies
• Agencies Certify or Identify Entities
DMP has developed and established a scalable registry mechanism.

22. Authorities and Agencies
Authorities assign agencies to issue unique identifiers.

23. Requirements for Content Identification
• The Registration Agency shall provide unique
Identifiers
• The Registration Agency shall Assign the Identifiers
unambiguously
• The Registration Agency shall be able to Authenticate
a Content Item without the need to Access the entire
Content Item
• A Registration Authority shall perform the functions of
a Registration Agency that has been revoked or
ceased to operate

and DMP Approved Document No. 5 - http://dmpf.org/open/dmp1205.zip
