RE: [rights-examples] Examples

Title: Examples

It 
would be helpful for me if Aaron, Deirdre, or Dean could clarify 
what entities they see in each of their examples and what they want to 
communicate between them (as the fundamental purpose of a language is 
communication).

 

For 
example, suppose I have a use case like the following:

"Alice 
records a song and sends it to Bob to play."

I 
would then elaborate it by saying the list of entities are

1) 
Alice

2) 
Bob

and 
that the communications I want to achieve are

A) 
Alice tells Bob he can play the song.

 

Can 
you do this for each of the three cases you have mentioned 
below?

 

Thanks,

Thomas.

  Examples

  
Hello Everyone: 
I received this from 
  Aaron earlier this month. My sincere apologies for the delay in forwarding 
  this to the Examples SC...I had thought that I had sent this out before but it 
  was still in my Draft folder...These examples are from the Samuelson Law 
  Clinic/EPIC's submission which is located in the Document Repository: (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/rights/documents/subcommittee/requirements/collected/sltppc/)

  
It may be beneficial to invite Aaron, Deirdre and Dean to one 
  of our future meetings to discuss the examples some more as there may be 
  several different approaches to the use cases.

  
Regards, 
Hari

Hi Hari, 

  
I'm sending you three examples, which are use cases taken 
  directly from 
the Clinic's/EPIC's requirements 
  document. Our understanding is that 
the Examples SC 
  will devise XrML licenses that implement these 
examples. These examples are all equally important to us, so the SC 
  
should therefore feel free to tackle them in any order 
  they see fit. 
Furthermore, these examples are not 
  exhaustive (that's the spirit of an 
Examples SC, I 
  guess). 

  
Finally, please note that our providing these examples does 
  not indicate 
a change in our position regarding the 
  work of the requirements SC. 

  
We are also looking at the examples you mentioned in your 
  message but 
need more time to analyze them. We'll also 
  keep an eye on the 
repository for new ln*** 
  examples. 

  
The use cases are below. I hope you don't mind my sending them 
  to you -- 
I am not subscribed to 
  rights-examples. 

  
Thanks, 
Aaron 

  
========================================================= 

  
1. Alice, a music critic, publishes reviews on her own Web 
  site. There 
is no fee required for access to the site, 
  and Alice attracts enough 
readers to have attracted 
  the attention of record company executives. 
Alice's 
  reviews always contain excerpts from the work under review. 
This week she is reviewing the latest release from a band whose last 
  
four albums she has panned. After listening to this 
  new album, Alice 
knows that her review will be 
  critical. She knows that seeking 
permission to sample 
  portions of the album will be fruitless, so she 
simply 
  extracts what she needs and links the streaming audio files to 
  
her review. 

  
2. Professor Carole has decided to put several textual and 
  multimedia 
works from her personal collection on 
  digital reserve for her history 
course this term. Each 
  of her students must have access to these 
artifacts 
  for the term of the course, in several popular formats. They 
will have the ability to include excerpts of these works in their term 
  
projects. 

  
3. A non-profit school for the blind owns a Braille printer. 
  The school 
uses this printer to reproduce excerpts of 
  an electronic version of the 
biography of an important 
  political figure for some of its students.
