Background
• Pilot projects• Improved access• Audio and video on-demand• Simultaneous delivery of sound/video and music
scores/dance notation• Creation of a digital multi-media resource • Interactive learning environment
University of Surrey Information Services
The digital resource
• Course materials • Rights• Music scores, scanned images• Audio - MPEG 1 layer 3• Video - MPEG 1• Integrity • Metadata
University of Surrey Information Services
Critical rights issues
• User environment– Defined user group– Limited to campus access– Defined methods of use e.g. no printing
• Application – Educational– Clearly stated
• Testbed opportunity
University of Surrey Information Services
Methods
• Advice from experts• Identified rights holders
– Can be difficult with some video– Initial uncertainty of some owners
• Contacted Industry bodies– MPA– Music Alliance - MCPS, PRS
• Maintained database of all requests– from initial stages to delivery

Conclusions - Our requirements 2
• Metadata– Access to common core
– Local provision of detail
• Licence agreements– Controlled/budgeted costs
– not per use
– site and application licence
• Protection– of rights owners– of providers
