Workshop on Rights Management
April 6, 1998

Co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Digital Library Federation
Don Waters (DLF) and Judith Klavans (NSF)

Falk Auditorium

Washington, D. C.

Workshop Goals:

To contribute to the process of formally defining requirements for more sophisticated authorization systems, the Digital Library Federation (DLF) and the Center for Research on Information Access at Columbia University (CRIA), with support of the National Science Foundation (NSF) will convene an interdisciplinary group from computer science, library technology, publishing, information technology, and law. This one-day workshop will build on outcomes of an earlier meeting sponsored by NSF. We seek three outcomes:

• the scope of the upcoming meeting will seek further to distinguish and define both terms and conditions of use on the provider side and roles, rights, and responsibilities on the user side.
• participants in the upcoming meeting will define the system requirements concretely in terms of two specific scenarios representing cases that urgently need attention.
• the workshop will seek, by concretely defining requirements, to contribute to related work elsewhere, such as the development of the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) White Paper on inter-organizational access management.
