Extending ODRL to Enable Bi-Directional Communication Alapan Arnab Andrew Hutchison
Agenda • Introduction • Design Motivations • Extensions • Example
Introduction • RELs essentially allow for the expression of contract terms • All current RELs have a an uni-directional expression from rights holder to the end user • Thus, this does not allow for the full power that is achieved through a negotiated process
RMS Example • Tom creates a document for Jill and protects it with RMS • Can only be read and edited by Jill • Time limit of a week • If Jill requires an extension, • Tom needs to rewrite the rules • Resend the protected document back to Jill
“the assumption of a one-way expression of rights has in part led to the current deficiencies in the REL [XrML]” – Mulligan et al. [2002]
Design Motivations • Need to use external control sets • Object separated from license (super distribution) • Use a request – response model
New Functions Breakdown • License Server Functions • Keep track of extensions • Negotiation algorithms • AI for negotiating complex licenses • DRM Controller Functions • Keep track of updated use licenses
Three Negotiation Elements • Request (from the user) • Deny Request (from the rights holder) • Accept Request (from the rights holder)
Three Request Elements • Add • Remove • Replace
Putting it all together • Chosen to extend the rightsType element • Could have used other element, eg. negType • Our opinion – this is more elegant
Example • Use scenario #2 from the ODRL 1.1 specs • Mary Smith (consumer) buys an e-book: “Why Cats Sleep and We Don’t” • Rights: • Single CPU • Print 2 times • Suppose Mary Smith is a journalist, and would like to write a thorough review • Want to excerpt pictures from various parts of e-book • Example essentially a case of fair use • Will also use an extension from an unpublished work

Future Work/Work in Progress • Aim to create a working prototype by end of September • Part of a smaller sub-project • Not yet too sure on AI aspect
Conclusions • Presented extensions to ODRL 1.1 for bi-directional support • Enables negotiation between user and license server • Allows for the negotiation of any part of an ODRL license • Our opinion, this makes ODRL more complete • Would like to see these extensions (or similar structures) in ODRL 2.0 • Extensions can also be done in other RELs like XrML (which we have also done)
