How News and Media Publishers Can Optimize their Content Licensing by Adopting Standard Machine-Processable Rights
Presented at IPTC's Spring 2018 meeting
Open source applications are rapidly becoming a mainstream option in almost every area of the higher education enterprise. While we are all familiar with the term "open source" at this point, many of us do not really understand the details of how this model is fundamentally different from proprietary software. During this talk, we will discuss what open source really means, how open source licensing works, some of the major benefits of open source software, common myths about open source, where open source is being used in the enterprise, how open source affects the procurement process, and strategies for adopting open source applications into your enterprise.
Outbound Licensing Strategies: Is Open Source the Right Model for Your Company?Jennifer O'Neill
In the past, companies that invested heavily in software development had the objective of either licensing that software commercially, or enhancing their internal IT environments. There is now a third option: releasing that code under an open source license in order to encourage industry-wide adoption of its functionality, gain valuable input from external experts, and better integrate that software with other common components.

Why is rights metadata necessary for modern news and media organizations? How does IPTC's RightsML help solve those requirements? What are the opportunities to work with Google, Europeana, MINDS or other organizations to make progress with addressing the challenge of rights for news and media?
In the modern open source world, where licenses and DVCS’ allow instant and infinite forking, the only true control point for a community-based open source project is its name, its logo, and its identity. Your brand is your identity: this is how the rest of the world sees you and your project.
How can a volunteer-led open source project control it’s own identity and brand? How do you manage your project’s brand when most of your volunteers are coders who don’t want to get involved with lawyers or deal with enforcing trademarks? How can the community keep their brand independent and free of commercial influence, so they can ensure the maximum number of people and corporations are interested in participating in their project?
Similarly, how can businesses respectfully use open source brands to their own advantage – without being seen as co-opting and independent or open community open source project solely for their own gain? The desire to control the next hot project for your profit may quickly turn on you when another company simply forks the code under a better marketed service.
Learn the basics of all these topics and more with Shane Curcuru, who volunteers as Vice President, Brand Management for The Apache Software Foundation. Over the past few years Shane has led a group of volunteer ASF Members to define and implement a consistent brand policy for all 100 Apache projects – spanning from the veritable HTTPD and Tomcat to the newest CouchDB and Hadoop.

I\'m Not an IT Lawyer: Why Does Open Source Matter to Me?Jennifer O'Neill
The line between intellectual property lawyers and general practitioners was once a clear one. IP lawyers filed patent applications, registered trademarks, and counseled their clients on whether reprinting an article was “fair use” of a copyrighted work. Generalists negotiated contracts, prosecuted and defended litigation, and drafted corporate filings.
In the current economy, a generalist may not be able to consult an IP specialist. And the pervasive quality of technology means that IP issues are present in many transactions, particularly with respect to the use and licensing of software.
You don’t have to be a programmer to help your client address these concerns. But inevitably, you will need to understand the concept of open source.

1. Create a set of rights statements specific to news and media
2. Host the rights statements using the IPTC CV server
3. Create an editorial process for adding new rights statements
4. Document how to use the rights statements – and maybe even implement an evaluation engine with explanations
5. Document how to mix in custom statements with IPTC ones

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*
IPTC Machine Readable Rights for News and Media: Solving Three Challenges with Licensing Content
1. SOLVING THREE
CHALLENGES WITH
LICENSING CONTENT
How News and Media
Publishers Can Optimize
their Content Licensing by
Adopting Standard
Machine Processable
Rights
2. THREE NEWS AND MEDIA RIGHTS
CHALLENGES
Many organizations license content from third parties. This leads to
three challenges:
1. Can I publish this content to this website, device or location?
2. How do I minimize my content licensing costs?
3. Can I license my archived content to someone else?
Each of these are questions about content rights – permissions,
restrictions and duties
3. IS THIS CONTENT USE PERMITTED?
Just because I have access to the content doesn’t mean I can use it in
a particular way
Editorial feeds may be available, but not allowed to be republished
Publishers license content for a particular publication, but does that permit reuse in
sister publications?
Time limits and embargos
Territorial restrictions
Media and platform restrictions
Competitor restrictions
Am I complying with any required duties?
Do I have to provide a credit?
Are there any additional fees involved?
Do I need to report back on usage?
4. HOW TO MINIMIZE CONTENT
LICENSING COSTS?
How much will it cost to use a particular piece of content in a
particular way?
Can I find similar content with a lower price point?
Can I strike volume deals for the content with a bundle of rights?
Have I already licensed this content?
If so, can I use it again for this purpose, with the same license?
What is the term, territory, media and use permitted?
How do I minimize the amount of manual work required to handle
licensing?
How can I efficiently handle video bundles - footage, music, model releases,
property releases?
How can l automatically evaluate copyright clearances for content, to enable auto-
publishing?
5. CAN I SHARE OR SELL MY ARCHIVE
CONTENT?
Am I permitted to share or sell content from my archive?
Third party content may permit re-licensing of content – for additional fees
Even “my” content may contain 3rd party content
A text item may link to photos, video or audio supplied from another publisher
A video or audio piece may consist of 3rd party clips
Does the content itself make use of copyright works – such as music, art works or
buildings?
Do I have releases from anyone depicted in an item?
Does the license originally granted for a content item still apply?
At this time and for the required territory and use?
6. RIGHTS CHALLENGES
How to increase efficiency?
Eliminate manual review of copyright clearances
Reduce costs by automatically optimizing content selection
Track licensed content, to increase reuse and minimize costs
How to reduce legal risks?
Avoid inadvertent rights infringements
Enforce and relay rights for partner content
How to leverage licensing opportunities?
Determine whether you can share or sell a piece of content from your archive
7. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT
RIGHTS METADATA?
Rights are a different kind of metadata from, say, headline or
descriptive metadata
Two kinds of rights
The contract, which could apply to thousands or even millions of pieces of content
The per-item permissions, restrictions and duties
Rights are very specific to the publisher / client relationships
Rights can change independently from the content
Different parts of a piece of content can have different permissions, restrictions and
duties
Rights are often complex
Rights metadata requires sophisticated data structures to represent them accurately
and usefully
Processing rights metadata correctly is therefore harder than most kinds of
8. HOW TO REPRESENT RIGHTS
METADATA?
Editors notes
The main way it is done today
Make up your own machine-processable representation
As codes embedded in content
Use an existing standard?
Picture Licensing Universal Standard PLUS https://www.useplus.com/
Creative Commons https://creativecommons.org/
RightsStatements.org http://rightsstatements.org/
RightsML http://rightsml.org
9. COMPARING RIGHTS

10. IPTC RIGHTSML
RIGHTS EXPRESSION FOR THE
MEDIA INDUSTRY
Rights expression language
Machine processable
permissions, restrictions and
duties
Tuned to the needs of the news
and media industry
IPTC standard
https://iptc.org/standards/rights
ml/
Founded on W3C ODRL
https://www.w3.org/TR/odrl-
model/
11. IPTC
RIGHTSML:
A
COMPREHEN
SIVE RIGHTS
STANDARD
Supports all use cases - from simple to
complex
Designed for all media types
Can be "embedded" within an asset – ideal for photo,
video and audio binaries
Or referenced remotely – for example in a rights
registry
Or an accompanying file – for cross media publishing
Can be used with a variety of metadata
formats
IPTC photo metadata, NewsML-G2, Video Metadata
Hub
And many others
Supports a range of modern technologies
XML, JSON-LD, RDF out of the box
And a data model structured to support any others
12. MACHINE
PROCESSA
BLE
RIGHTS:
INCREASE
EFFICIENCY
, REDUCE
LEGAL
RISKS
Compared to the use of editors notes to convey
content restrictions…
… any machine processable representation will
improve efficiency
•No longer necessary to review each item to determine what
restrictions there might be
•No need to remove rights statements from captions or scripts
•Machine processable rights are key for auto publishing
… and reduce legal risks
•Just like any other manual process, rights clearance is prone to
human error
•Converting to machine processable rights entails squeezing out
ambiguity in the current expressions
13. CONTRACTS, PER ITEM
RESTRICTIONS, REUSE
Just like editors notes, adding codes to your content to indicate
permissions works for per item restrictions and duties
The codes could be a standard like PLUS or rightsstatements.org or proprietary to
your organization
Just make sure every restriction is covered by the code scheme you pick
As markup language, RightsML supports per item restrictions and can be used to
express entirely new permissions, restrictions and duties, without changing the
language
RightsML can also be used to express entire licensing contracts –
hard to do with codes
RightsML thus better supports content reuse, since it is necessary to
evaluate the combination of a license and per-item restrictions
14. RIGHTS COMPLEXITY
Some restrictions are straightforward “outs” based on location,
distribution channel or recipient
Others, however, can be complex combinations of restrictions
They may also require the fulfilment of complex duties in order to
“unlock” a particular use
