| The music industry has begun selling and distributing
its media assets on-line. On-line music distribution is
vastly different from the normal means of media distribution.
These untested methods of music sales and distribution
require experimentation in order to determine
which business models and pricing tiers will most resonate
with the consumer. This translates into the need
for versatile and robust data models to enable these
market trials. Copyright owners and media companies
require well-designed data structures to enable them to
transmit and receive these complicated sets of business
rules. This metadata is an essential part of an
overall digital rights management system to control
and limit access to the associated media assets. |
