Digital Media Project status report After 9 th General Assembly Torino, 2006/02/07 -09 Leonardo Chiariglione 2006/02/28 The Digital Media Project 1

The Digital Media Project • Launched as Digital Media Manifesto in Jul 2003 • Manifesto published in Sep 2003 – http: //www. chiariglione. org/manifesto/dmm. htm • Digital Media Project established in Dec 2003 – http: //www. digital-media-project. org/ • The basic DMP position – Digital technologies are an asset of mankind – Creators, intermediaries and end-users should all benefit from them – Goal can be achieved through standardisation of appropriate protocols between value-chain users 2006/02/28 The Digital Media Project 2

Implementing the vision • There is nothing of the following – A universal way of doing business with media – A universal DRM system • A DRM standard must – Satisfy the manifold needs of value chain players – Allow to continuously inject innovation – Provide interoperability • What is the target of the standard? – NO: High-level functions performed in • Existing value-chains (who knows how they will evolve) • Future value-chains (who knows what they will look like) – YES: Low-level functions (Primitive Functions) • Existing functions – combinations of PFs • Future functions – combinations of existing and new PFs 2006/02/28 The Digital Media Project 3

The DMP Interoperable DRM Platform (IDP) • DMP develops the IDP Specification – IDP is a “tool-kit” – Tools implement Primitive Functions • The IDP Specification is developed in Phases – IDP-1: Tools for Portable Audio & Video Devices (PAV), Apr 2005 • http: //www. dmpf. org/open/dmp 0430. zip – IDP-2: Tools for Stationary Audio & Video Devices (SAV), Feb 2006 • http: //www. dmpf. org/project/ga 09/idp-2. html – IDP-3: Tools for Digital Media Value Chains, Oct 2006 • http: //www. dmpf. org/project/ga 09/idp-3_cfp. html (Cf. P) • IDP includes “Use Cases” and “Value-Chains” – Guide to build value chains assembling IDP tools 2006/02/28 The Digital Media Project 4

Features of IDP-2 • Is industry agnostic • Focused on the DRM layer of any value-chain – “Media coding” is not part of IDP-2 • Supports any value-chain function – Not just end-user devices • • • Is toolkit-based Evolves in compatible phases Is entirely XML-based Provides examples of IDP-2 value-chains Provides conformance tools (under development) Provides reference software (under development) 2006/02/28 The Digital Media Project 6

Benefits of IDP-2 • Flexibility: users can build any value-chain – Suiting their own business models – Without strings attached to alien business models • Cost effectiveness: value-chains have lower cost – The same tool has multiple uses – The same tool is provided by competing suppliers • Ability to evolve: value-chains can be seamlessly augmented – Add more tools – Add new tools (as result of innovation) • Interoperability: within and across value-chains – Full interoperability within a value-chain – A level of interoperability across value-chains • Openness: there is room for other tools – IDP-2 is a framework – Proprietary tools can be used while preserving interoperability 2006/02/28 The Digital Media Project 7

Some uses of IDP-2 (From Use Cases and Value-Chains) • Different distribution technologies – Client-Server – Peer-to-peer • Different broadcasting models – Governed clear-text broadcasting – Pay-TV • Different content services over IP – IPTV – Vo. D • Different models of in-home distribution 2006/02/28 The Digital Media Project 8

IDP-3 Call for Proposals • Submissions by 2006/04/20 • Technologies sought (non exhaustive list) – Information representation • Data dictionary • Metadata for use between value-chain users • Metadata for end-users – Protocols • License negotiation • Use data confidentiality negotiation – Miscellanea • Generic end-user device architecture • Tools to model value chains 2006/02/28 The Digital Media Project 9
