Semantic Web technology is able to provide the required computational
semantics for interoperability of learning resources across different
Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Learning Object Repositories
(LOR). The EU research project LUISA (Learning Content Management
System Using Innovative Semantic Web Services Architecture) addresses the
development of a reference semantic architecture for the major challenges in
the search, interchange and delivery of learning objects in a service-oriented
context. One of the key issues, highlighted in this paper, is Digital Rights
Management (DRM) interoperability. A Semantic Web approach to copyright
management has been followed, which places a Copyright Ontology as the key
component for interoperability among existing DRM systems and other
licensing schemes like Creative Commons. Moreover, Semantic Web tools like
reasoners, rule engines and semantic queries facilitate the implementation of an
interoperable copyright management component in the LUISA architecture.
