Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) Specification Submitted to W3C.
W3C has received 'Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) Version 1.1' from IPR Systems and has published the document as a W3C Note. ODRL is a language for expressing rights information over content; it includes XML schemas for the expression language and data dictionary. The submission request and W3C Team Comment reference the possible chartering of a DRM/Rights Language activity within W3C, but no commitment has yet been made. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-09-24-c.html
W3C Publishes Note on Extensible Media Commerce Language (XMCL).
RealNetworks, Inc. has submitted the 'Extensible Media Commerce Language (XMCL)' specification to W3C with a suggestion that W3C start a working group to develop a W3C recommendation for XML based digital rights specification language. XMCL is an XML-based interchange format that describes usage rules applicable to multi-media content; it communicates these rules for interchange between business systems and DRM implementations. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-09-24-b.html
Last Call Working Draft for SOAP 1.2 Attachment Feature.
A Last Call Working Draft for 'SOAP 1.2 Attachment Feature' has been released by the W3C XML Protocol Working Group as part of the W3C Web Services Activity. The specification is based upon the IETF Internet- Draft 'WS-Attachments' and defines a SOAP feature that represents an abstract model for SOAP attachments. It provides the basis for the creation of SOAP bindings that transmit such attachments along with a SOAP envelope. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-09-24-a.html
Discussion Forum for Web Services Security Quality of Protection.
An OASIS discussion list has been created for 'Web Services Security Quality of Protection'. List subscribers will discuss the possible creation of an OASIS Technical Committee. The stated purpose of the TC under discussion would be to identify candidate solutions for communicating the required security tokens and quality of protection for a Web service, taking advantage of the common service definition tools, such as WSDL. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-09-21-a.html
Sun Offers Developers Interoperability Prototype for Liberty.
An Interoperability Prototype for Liberty (IPL) was among several announcements issued by Sun Microsystems at the SunNetwork 2002 Conference and Pavilion. IPL is based upon the Liberty Alliance Version 1.0 specification and has been designed for developers who want to build or test Liberty-enabled applications for identity management. Both IPL and the Liberty specification are based on open standards such as SAML 1.0, XML, and SOAP. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-09-19-a.html
