RRWG Coordinated Requirements

The Rights & Rules Coordinated Requirements Document represents more than a year of work by the Rights and Rules Working Group (RRWG) to collect, normalize, prioritize, and coordinate requirements for a rights grammar. RRWG began with nearly 400 requirements submitted by publishers, librarians, technology vendors, and other members of the eBook community. RRWG took these requirements through all the stages outlined by the Requirements Working Group, including coordination of the Version 1.0 requirements with the Metadata and Identifiers Working Group and the Publication Structure Working Group.

RRWG is using the document as the basis for a rights grammar specification and has offered it to the MPEG-21 effort as a draft statement of requirements from the eBook community. RRWG believes the document would have more force as both the basis for our specification and a submission to MPEG-21 as an official OeBF output document.

The OeBF Principal Membership voted to approve the RRWG CoordinatedRequirements Document as a "Recommended" Document on April 18, 2003.
