The Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) aims at providing a foundation for interoperable DRM systems. Since its specification does not define any formal semantics, ODRL licenses are prone to misinterpretation. In order to address this issue, this paper presents a transformation of the ODRL vocabulary to the semantic web language OWL. By doing this, the semantics of an ODRL license is made explicit. Based on the resulting ontology, a second one is created for Usage Rights Management (URM). URM...The Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) aims at providing a foundation for interoperable DRM systems.

Based on the resulting ontology, a second one is created for Usage Rights Management (URM). URM is a tool for informing users about their usage rights of their digital media files. URM is based on ODRL. The URM ontology therefore represents a possible application of the ODRL ontology.» weiterlesen » einklappen
