Rights Automation
Current issuesVarious different systems and practicesNeed to check with narrative textual clausesWeak links between Rights and AV-materialToo many manual processes & duplicationLegacy systems / lack of flexibilityLack of reliable /detailed information on reuse of archival excerpts in new productions
ChallengesScope is Television, Radio, and CinemaHandling the exploitation rights along their life-cycleno ambiguity => no need to read again textual clauses Continuously updating available rights in consequence of
contract variants consumption of runs / expiration sales with exclusivity
Search & analysis on rights portfolioCriteria
get all the people involvedaccept idea of revising work-flowssimplify user interfaces as much as possible
same interface might be integrated with multiple systems
give priority to input of new contracts

Benefits of adopting MPEG-21 MCO it supports the expression of contract condition in our scope.
Flexible, as it is possible to select the desired degree of generality / specificity; the various dimensions of the conditions can be combined in
all needed ways, for expressing the “reference exploitation rights” approved by the legal department.
Easy to extend and to integrate rights information with other domains. Not just an organisational model, but a standard that can be widely used.
The Media Contract Ontology (MCO) is a standard of MPEG-21 multimedia framework. An electronic
format for machine readable contracts on media rights. The 1st edition was issued in 2013, the 2nd
edition is under ballot, exp. 2016.

OpportunityFrom media to semantics
Current metadata practises are mostly media-centricYou inspect or analyse the mediaYou document the mediaYou search for the media through metadata
Future approach: metadata (h)as value!Exploiting semantics Entities, relations, inferencesMedia as one particular instance or realisationFeed for new ways of making media business

Storage
Archives in 2020 will face several challengesIncrease of content qualityResolution, frame rate, dynamic range
Increase of distribution and publication channelsDigital TVInternet
– Web is worth being archivedMobile
– Apps are worth being archivedDigitization of archivesMillions of hoursWhere to put resulting stuff?

Conclusions
Digitise assets is only the first stepYou have content safe
Make contract and rights managment efficientYou can use it
Exploitation of (meta)data & semanticsYou can make new business
Storage (& computation) is a challengeYou can sustain the business
