<h2><a name="Back" id="Back">Background</a></h2>

<p>This Workshop will explore existing technologies and new approaches for
Digital Rights Management on the Web. Digital Rights Management (DRM) refers
to techniques for describing and perhaps enforcing copyrights associated with
Web resources. Multiple initiatives on national and international levels focus
on protection of online content, yet trade, management, tracking and
evolvability of such content have not been addressed in a comprehensive, open
standards environment. Recent experiences with copyright of Web-based content
show tension in both business models (Napster, MP3) and today's technology
approaches (SDMI). New product categories such as eBooks also demonstrate the
need for an approach to DRM that accommodates the diverse needs of content
providers, distributors, artists, and users. Widely deployed Digital Rights
Management standards on the Web might provide an opportunity to go one step
further on the way to an Information Society by enabling the emergence of a
variety of new business and social models for the dissemination and marketing
of information products. This Workshop will explore the needs of these various
communities, technologies that might address those needs, and ways in which
the unique aspects of Web architecture determine what solutions may be
appropriate and successful.</p>

<p>Various rights management approaches will have differential impact on
individual components in the value chain, from users to content providers to
distributors. At the Workshop we will explore the challenge of implementing
DRM functionality that does not inappropriately restricting fair use and fair
dealing rights protected in national and international copyright laws.</p>

<p>A key impact of DRM will be the substantial increase in re-use of Web
content. Increasingly pervasive access to Web is changing the nature of
distribution of digital media from a passive one-way flow (from publisher to
the consumer) to a much more interactive cycle where creations are re-used,
combined and extended in ever-expanding cycles. At all stages, the rights need
to be managed and honored.</p>

<h2><a name="Goal1" id="Goal">Workshop Goal</a></h2>

<p>The goal of this workshop is to discuss and address DRM issues across
multiple sectors and communities to enable the Web to deliver trusted rights
management services. The intent is to find and highlight expressions,
processes and methods for DRM applications that could be subject of a W3C
Activity Proposal.</p>

<p>The organization of this workshop is handled under <a
href="/Consortium/Process/Process-19991111/events.html#EventsW">the W3C
process</a>.</p>

<h2><a name="Scope" id="Scope">Scope of the Workshop</a></h2>

<p>The Workshop will address the management of any rights on intangible goods,
that can be delivered, shipped or otherwise transported over digital networks,
such as electronic books and images. The Workshop will not address rights on
tangible goods, real estate, etc., or goods that can not be transported over
HTTP.</p>

<p>The participants will discuss and debate the merits of a W3C Activity to
investigate and propose DRM specifications to add value and services to the
Web community in an open and extensible manner. Likely participants would be
drawn from the following communities: publishers, creators/authors,
content/data service providers, online trading services, trusted third
parties, stakeholders from the library-, and other user communities.</p>

<p>DRM raises a mixture of technical, social, business and legal issues. The
Workshop will concentrate on addressing the technical issues with DRM, though
we will also seek background on legal and social considerations that effect
the technical requirements of DRM for the Web. The technical issues
include:</p>
<ul>
  <li>DRM architectures</li>
  <li>Trading protocols</li>
  <li>Protection and security mechanisms</li>
  <li>DRM languages (semantics and encoding)</li>
  <li>Interoperability</li>
  <li>Accessibility</li>
</ul>

<p>The discussion of DRM languages will include consideration of candidates
for standard vocabularies for the expression of terms and conditions over
digital assets. In DRM languages, authors, distributors and other
intermediaries may express permissible usages for various digital asset
manifestations, payment terms, tracking and security. We expect to discuss how
DRM languages might reuse existing W3C standards (RDF, XML Signature,
Micropayments, P3P).</p>

<h2 id="Related">Background Material from W3C</h2>

<p>Participants in this workshop should be familiar with the following W3C
technologies:</p>
<ul>
  <li><a href="/XML/#news">XML</a> and <a href="/XML/Schema#Tools">XML
    Schema</a></li>
  <li><a href="/RDF/">RDF</a> and <a
    href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-rdf-schema-20000327/">RDF
  Schema</a></li>
  <li><a href="/Signature/">XML Signature</a></li>
  <li><a href="/P3P/#what">P3P</a></li>
  <li><a href="/Mobile/CCPP/">CC/PP</a></li>
  <li><a href="/ECommerce/Micropayments/">Micropayments</a></li>
</ul>

<p>More background material is expected to be posted on a workshop Web site
shortly at:</p>

<blockquote>

<h2><a name="Criteria" id="Criteria">Criteria for success</a></h2>

<p>The workshop will be considered successful if:</p>
<ul>
  <li>It has a broad spectrum of participants from industry, research, user,
    and academia</li>
  <li>The workshop deliverables are produced successfully</li>
</ul>

<p>Future work in this area will depend on whether this workshop identifies
areas in which W3C can make a unique contribution, whether through standards
development and/or liaison with other organizations.</p>

<h2><a name="Position" id="Position">Position Papers</a></h2>

<p>Position papers are the basis for the discussion at the workshop. A
position paper is usually short, around 1 to 5 pages (there is a maximum of
five pages) and summarizes:</p>
<ul>
  <li>What are the needs of your company/organization in the field of DRM that
    you would like to have addressed in the workshop?</li>
  <li>What are your general expectations on the final outputs of the
  workshop?</li>
  <li>What are your potential contributions to the discussion, related ideas,
    and suggested solutions? A well-defined technical contribution may
    accompany the position paper as an appendix.</li>
</ul>

<p>Position papers will be published on the public Web pages of the workshop,
so position papers and slides of presentations must be available for public
dissemination. Submitting a position paper comprises a default recognition of
these terms for publication. Allowed formats are HTML/XHTML or ASCII. Papers
in any other formats will be returned, with a request for correct formatting.
Good examples of position papers can be seen in the <a
href="/TandS/QL/QL98/pp.html">QL'98 workshop</a>.</p>

<p>The Program Committee may ask the authors of particularly salient position
papers to explicitly present their position at the workshop to foster
discussion. Presenters will also make the slides of the presentation available
on the workshop Web site.</p>

<p>Position papers must be submitted via email to the <a
href="mailto:rigo@w3.org,renato@iprsystems.com">Workshop
Chairs</a>(&lt;rigo@w3.org&gt; and &lt;renato@iprsystems.com&gt;) no later
