AXMEDIS License Translation and DRM interoperability

AXMEDIS License Translation and DRM interoperability

AXMEDIS supports MPEG 21 REL and also OMA ODRL (Open Mobile Alliance, Open Digital Rights Language) which is a largely diffused REL for the mobile environment. The native model of AXMEDIS in the PMS is the MPEG-21 REL.

AXMEDIS is an open solution, other Right Expression Languages, RELs, and models can be added. The support of several RELs gives the opportunity to link with other DRM systems and environments, which may use one or the other. The use of standardized mechanisms to provide DRM capabilities allows the connection with other proprietary solutions in an easiest way. Related to these activities, AXMEDIS is realizing tools for translating rights expressions from one language to other language (Rights Expression Translator). This allows providing the correct license for a specific environment, for instance, a license expressed in the language supported by the device.
