Design Issues - DRM

DRM - Resolutions

• Exemptions to the need to protect services from 3rd party rights holders

• Use of simple watermarks in the services• DRM wrapper around services

– Username and password in service request– IP address restrictions– End-to-end identity management and services

protection

Does it work?

Yes!

Remaining Issues

• Making it possible for those not yet published to publish– Technical support – provision of software– Contractual, procurement and business support

Remaining Issues

• Performance characteristics and testing– Currently somewhat uncertain

• Harmonising of publication practices– Datasets, layers, themes in logical groupings

• Styling of services– Supporting their use in the UK portal

• Digital Rights Management– More investigation needed

Remaining Issues

• Preparing for the next round of services………..
