  2. What Arrow is Arrow is a distributed systemfor facilitatingrights information management in any digitisation programme, scalable to further applications A distributed system: a network of databases made interoperable through use of standards Facilitating implies time saving Data from validation survey: Arrow allows 80%+ time saving Rights information management: conceived as a separate function from (though linked to) “rights management” (the RII = Rights Information Infrastructure) Any digitisation programme: Arrow is conceived to be neutral to legal frameworks and business models Future applications: Rights information may be crucial in new digital markets

  3. And what’s about orphan works? Orphan works are definable at the end of a search process We provide an environment and tools to facilitate the search At the end we may have some unsuccessful searches: these works are “candidate orphans” It is up to stakeholders, within a given legal framework, to decide whether a work is orphan or additional searches are required This is an application of our “neutrality principle”

  4. Where we are Arrow Plus Pilot countries Arrow

  5. The Arrow workflow ROW AWR VIAF Clustering editions 1st data collection TEL BiP 2nd data collection Matching records Matching and clustering 3rd data collection Validation RRO Library interface Matching records Library

  6. How it works in practice • The library submit a request, and receives back a table with results • First, when the matching is not good enough, a manual validation is required • Then the library receives: • The list of books for which the license is granted • The list of books for which the license is rejected • The list of books for which manual check is necessary • In all cases: all the information retrieved during the process are provided • The process is 100% verifiable by the users

  7. How it looks like • Typical response:

  8. Some real use cases emerging (finally!) In Germany and France stakeholders are finalising agreements to handle right clearance for digitisation plans, including a simplified scheme for right clearance, which applies to: In Germany: books published before a cut off date (1965), out of commerce at work level In France: books published in XX century, out of commerce at work level In UK a private charity is planning a digitisation programme that includes a full diligent search In all cases Arrow perfectly fits the requirements for the implementation of the agreement Value of the Arrow “neutral approach”

  9. How we are working Arrow is a neutral and flexible “ready to use” infrastructure To serve a particular use case some customisation are required Setting the parameters of the system according to the context Examples: The publication date can be managed at manifestation or at work level: any combination is supported e.g.: A book published in 1960 that had a new edition in 2007 can be treated differently than a book published in the same date with the last edition in 1985 The availability status can be defined with any territorial extend e.g. for France we can consider also availability in Belgium and Switzerland, likely in Quebec The display of results can be customised according the users needs e.g. grouping together all the cases where the license is granted, etc. e.g. providing data directly in XML so to allow automatic management in the IT system of the requiring organisation

  10. Arrow Plus • Arrow is based on existing sources of book data. How to manage the workflow in countries where one or more sources are less sophisticated? • Objective 1: inclusion of further countries • Key element: setting up (or improving existing) BiPs • Which will benefit the trade fare beyond the Arrow scope • Arrow is a neutral system to be customised to meet requirements in real use cases • Objective 2: enhancement of the system following use cases requirements • Books also contains images with separate rights management requirements when the book is scanned • Objective 3: piloting the inclusion of images embedded in books in the Arrow workflow
