scope:

This Recommendation gives the high-level specification of the metadata for rights information interoperability, including representation of the minimum required elements. The rights information interoperability (RII) metadata provide descriptive and contextual classification for representing rights information using the permission framework. RII is concerned with finding the greatest common denominators in rights expressions that include the minimum required components when trying to implement the mutual use of rights information.

This Recommendation defines the common semantics and core elements of rights information interoperability for IPTV systems and/or equipment that require multimedia content to be legally used across different platforms.

The rights information includes rights- and security-related metadata that is described in [ITU-T H.750].

Rights-related information, such as content ID, permission issuer ID and permission receiver ID, which is used to bridge between rights-related metadata, is considered in this Recommendation. It should be noted, however, that rights management and content protection technology are beyond the scope of this Recommendation.

This Recommendation is technically aligned with the specification in [IEC 62698].
