Abstract

In these days, the creative user really enjoys creating digital items and sharing their works with other people on the Web. Most users, who create digital contents, want to make secured packages of their works and distribute them with the attachment of valid licenses. Current digital rights management (DRM) systems, however, do not provide the functionality that supports the requirement of the creative users who are considered as just consumers by the current available DRM systems. To make the user-centric DRM functionality possible, we found that license management should be more intelligent to enable users make appropriate licenses for the secured distribution of their created works. In this paper, we define the semantic-based rights expression and management model for the user generated content. Each user created content can have one or more licenses with different types, reproduction, distribution, and usage. Based on our semantic license model and big data analytics, we can support a new business model in which users can sell and buy their created digital items in a secure environment.
