Abstract

MPEG-21 REL is a Standard for the expression of rights in the context of DRM. The ontologies described in these site are their represenation in terms of an Ontology. Given that MPEG-21 REL is composed of different XML schemas for the Core, Standard Extensions and Multimedia Extensions, all of them have been mapped here to OWL ontologies. Moreover, the previous XML schemas import the schemas for XML Digital Signature and XML Encryption, which are also mapped to OWL ontologies.

1 Introduction

The MPEG-21 Rights Expression Language provides serveral XML Schema which have been mapped individually.
