CHIN Introduces Guide to Digital Rights Management

 

A Museum Guide to Digital Rights Management is the latest addition to 
Canadian Heritage Information Network's (CHIN) Intellectual Property 
Series. In this publication, author David Green explores best practices in 
DRM and develops practical recommendations for today's museums.

 

The first section covers the history of rights management, from the rise of 
computerization, through to the early collections management systems, 
digital asset management systems and end-to-end rights management 
systems. 

 

The second section reviews current practice in rights management in 
museums, gathered from a survey of Canadian museums and interviews 
with leading museums and practitioners in Canada, the US and the UK. The 
section is organized around the workflow, from assessing the intellectual 
property that the museum owns, to licensing IP to third parties and recording 
and tracking those licenses.
