IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) Management is a complex domain.
The IPR field is structured by evolving regulations, practises, business
models,… Therefore, DRMS (Digital Rights Management Systems) are very
difficult to develop and maintain.
The NewMARS DRMS is our contribution to this field. A knowledge oriented
approach has been chosen in order to make this development capable of dealing
with this complicated domain. This requirement and the objective of easy Web
integration have made the Semantic Web technologies the best choice.
NewMARS is a semantics enabled metadata managing system. Metadata is
associated to IPs (Intellectual Properties) using URIs and it is structured using
web ontologies. There are descriptive, rights and e-commerce ontologies for the
different views on IPs. Semantic enabled metadata is then used to facilitate
content providers to publish intellectual properties offers and customers to find
and automatically negotiate purchase conditions.
All NewMARS modules are interrelated using the ontologies shared semantics.
This has allowed developing very flexible project infrastructures that facilitates
easy adaptation to new IP e-commerce scenarios.
