Scope
IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee
|
A Rights Expression Language (REL) provides the syntax and grammar needed to specify rights expressions on how digital content may be distributed or used. These rights expressions can be very simple such as "this digital content may be viewed/played at anytime by anyone" or very complex such as "digital content 34567 may be viewed from 15-Jan-2004 until 15-Jun-2004 only by current university students." |
Purpose
This project should produce a recommended practice or guide identifying Digital Rights (DR) requirements for eLearning technologies. These requirements should be aligned with the most widely known standards-based specifications for DREL that are being adopted or developed by international, regional, national and private organizations and consortia.
The recommended practice or guide should determine what, if any, extensions are needed so that these DREL can meet the identified requirements. |

The Digital Rights Expression Languages (DREL) workgroup within the IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee is gathering requirements that a standardized DREL must meet to support learning, education, and training.
They are asking for your input and feedback on any relevant rights expression language specifications, standards, and standards development efforts not listed in the document. They are looking specifically for DRELs that are most general and that are getting the most attention in industries related to learning, education, and training.
The core elements of a rights expression language are broken down into the following elements:- Principal – the individual or group allowed to exercise the specified permission over the stated resource, e.g., students, teachers, administrators, etc.
- Right – the permission given to the principal over the stated digital content, e.g., play, print, copy, execute, edit, etc.
- Resource – the digital content that a principal can exercise the stated right, e.g., e-book, chapter, presentation, etc.
- Conditions – the restrictions placed on a principal who wants to exercise the stated right over the specified digital content, e.g., time interval (from, until), count limit, etc.
- Issuer – the individual or group granting the rights over the specified resource, e.g., authors, publishers, etc.

Recommended Practice
Title: Trial Use Recommended Practice for Digital Rights Expression Languages Suitable for eLearning Technologies
IEEE Standard Number: 1484.4-2007
Release Date: 2007
Status: IEEE Standard
Editors:
Abstract: This recommended practice facilitates the creation, management and delivery of digital content for eLearning by technology that implements digital rights expression languages. The recommended practice determines what, if any, extensions are needed so that these DREL can meet the identified requirements
Electronic Version:
To get this standard is required to go to www.ieee.org and select "Shop". They suggest you search by the title or by the specific ISBN number (0-7381-5601-9 (Print)/0-7381-5602-7 (PDF)) corresponding to the print or PDF versions.
