The contribution of this work is to apply a semantic approach based
on web ontologies to Digital Rights Management. The main result is
the development of a copyright ontology. It models the copyright
core concepts for creations, rights and the basic kinds of actions
that operate on them through their value chain. The set of actions
operating on content are the building blocks that combined cope
with the complexity of the copyright domain. At the same time,
their simplicity guarantees a high level of interoperability and
evolvability. The resulting copyright modelling framework is
flexible and complete enough to model many copyright scenarios, not
just those related to the economic exploitation of content.
Additionally, the ontology design and the selection of tools result
in a straightforward implementation. Rights are modelled as classes
of actions, action patterns are modelled also as classes and
concrete actions are modelled as instances. Then, to check if some
right or license grants an action is reduced to check for class
subsumption and instance classification, which are the main
functionalities of Description Logic reasoners.
