Abstract

The study deals with the cutting-edge subject of electronic contracts which have the potential to automatically process and control the access rights for (electronic) goods. It shows the design and the implementation of a rights expression exchange framework. The framework allows DRM systems to exchange electronic contracts, formulated in a standardized rights expression language, and thus provides DRM system interoperability. The work introduces a methodology for the standardized composition, exchange and processing of electronic contracts or rights expressions.

Abstract

The ease of copying materials in machine readable form (such as downloading) or of converting print documents into electronic form (so-called electrocopying), poses copyright problems which do not arise with print products. Considers some particular aspects of copyright which are relevant to machine readable data

Abstract

Examines 2 European Commission projects starting in Dec 95 aimed at managing access and protection for intellectual property. The Intellectual Multimedia Property Rights Model and Terminology for Universal References (IMPRIMATUR) project involves 16 partners with a network server in Italy. The Coordinating Project for Electronic Authors' Right Management Systems (COPEARMS) aims to develop the copyright in Transmitted Electronic Documents (CITED) work. Two other projects are also described: Copyright Ownership Protection in Computer Assisted Training (COPICAT) and MultiMedia Education System for Librarians Introducing Remote Interactive Processing of Electronic Documents (MURIEL)

Abstract

Outlines the effects of electronic collections in the public services realm. Points out the need to consider many other factors as well as the content of materials when making selection decisions. These include the resources needed for user training; access and presentation, including cooperation with other libraries; the provision of single or multiple access points and the implications of networking; staff skills in both computer technology and interaction and communication with users; copyright and other legal issues; management data; and other related costs of providing access to electronic resources

Abstract

Examines copyright from an international perspective, looking at what constitutes copyright in different countries; the rights enjoyed by a copyright; owner; infringement by restricted acts; existing international and European treaties; electronic copyright and contracts; the definition of literary works; and fair dealing. Focuses in particular on the implications of electronic document delivery. Copyright law does not keep up with technical developments, making publishers nervous of the new technologies. In the light of the Follett Report the time seems right for a radical rethink, and the various parties involved should grasp this opportunity

Abstract

Outlines existing treaties and legislation relating to copyright such as the Berne Convention, the Unfair Contract Terms Act and the concept of fair dealing. Assesses the role of Electronic Copyright Management Systems (ECMS) in protecting holders of rights; their relationship to the law in the UK, USA, and Europe; and their value in providing an agreed framework between libraries, users and publishers, so that the concept of the 'electronic' library can become a reality

Abstract

Explains copyright as it affects electronic databases tressing that there is no copyright in an electronic form of a record in itself, only in a service and its content. Regrets the lack of reaction from right owners to a set of European Association of Scientific Information and Dissemination Centres (EUSIDIC) Guidelines covering information brokers and downloading and discusses the Commission of the European Communities draft directive on the legal protection of databases. Recommends close consultation with rights owners where confusion arises until the formulation of minimum downloading standards

Abstract

Describes ELINOR (Electronic Library Information Online Retrieval), the electronic library project of De Montfort University, based at Milton Keynes, UK. The project uses document image processing to build a document database containing the full contents of undergradutae texts, including copyright material and University documents. Against the background of the strategic aims of the multi campus university, describes the hardware and software used, the inputting of documents, searching and browsing, the use of a WWW interface, major issues in dealing with publishers, and the pricing model used. Briefly notes the results of a study of user satisfaction, and how use of the system is monitored

Abstract

Discusses the challenges to the role of map librarian posed by new digital map products. Considers factors impacting on the level and scope of user services in digital map libraries, including the physical forms in which digital spatial data are available, the comparative potential of paper maps and digital atlases; problems associated with the quality of resolution of digital map data on screen; the different levels of use of digital material; and requests for output and the copyright problem. 4 examples of digital databases and electronic atlases are described

Abstract

Studies have indicated that various groups of intellectual property users are unaware of many aspects of copyright law and often do not understand that it applies to works in electronic forms, or are unconcerned with copyright restrictions. It is hypothesized that users would be more likely to conform to copyright law if a process could be developed that make it easier to access copyright management information on the Internet and in other electronic media. Before designing such a mechanism, the following research questions need to be addressed: 1) To what extent are users clear or concerned with obeying copyright law in the use of materials available in electronic formats? 2) Will users be more willing to comply with copyright law if copyright information is incorporated within electronic forms in a format that makes it easier to understand or easier to locate? 3) What amount of time are users willing to devote to locating copyright management information? and 4) What methods would users prefer to utilize in locating copyright management information? To address these questions a research instrument was developed and tested in a pilot study in which sixty students from two large higher public education institutions participated, 30 from New York City and 30 from Wisconsin. The instrument ascertained each participant's experience with electronic forms, the frequency with which they downloaded copyright materials, their level of concern regarding compliance with copyright law and their willingness to comply with copyright law if copyright management information was more effectively available. They were also asked to rank possible methods for locating copyright management information. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed to analyze the data. The results suggest that the participants would be more willing to comply with copyright law if copyright management information was easier to locate or to understand. The results also show that few users are willing to devote more than ten minutes to locating copyright management information. The study points to a need for an easy and rapid method to locate copyright management information within electronic forms and for increased user education about copyright law

Abstract

Downloading and information filtering are prerequisites for efficient use of electronic documents available in databases or on the Internet. Taking full advantage of electronic text collections requires a proper legal framework. Under present copyright law, electronic copying is subject to prior consent from the copyright owner, with due regard to fair use exceptions. This approach is followed by the European Union in its Database Protection Directive. The Directive leaves important questions concerning the fair use doctrine, compulsory licenses, and non copyright ('copyleft') to be resolved by national implementation as well as contractual arrangements between publishers and authors. The Directive's strong emphasis on direct revenues from users to copyright owners should be supplemented by compulsory licenses. Unrestricted access to information adds enormous value to database use and would result in more revenue for the authors and makers of databases. If the public's interest in access to information id deemed paramount to private copyright, government should intervene to secure sufficient revenues for the copyright owners
