5 Scope
This Work Item will initially focus on the creation of a Technical Report analysing existing data license schemes and how these licenses are being used in existing data management platforms to understand essential functions to utilize data license in a system managing data. Then the TR will retrieve potential requirements and key features through answering the following questions:
- How to indicate different data license to oneM2M data?
- How to acknowledge data (typically there should be an acknowledgement if data is used under a license)?
- How to check the fact that data is properly used under a given license? (for example, checking whether an acknowledgement is properly added to data with license)
- How to provide a link to the original data source?
- How to indicate the creator, provider and owner of data
- Data license provides possible operations to data, for example, copy, modify, publish, translate, adapt, and distribute. How to address possible operations if such data is stored in oneM2M?
- How to support various licenses while being agnostic to the license?
- How to support and/or interwork with existing digital rights management (DRM) mechanisms?
- The license needs to be accessible before the data is "visible" to a "user".
- How to record a user's choice to accept/reject the license?
- How to indicate more than one license attached?
- How to revoke a license?
- How to support different lifetime schemes: time, volume, etc. ?
Additional functionality will be identified through use case analysis and investigation of potential mechanisms.
Results of this WI are expected to propose changes for existing TS as CRs.
