A game of GeoDRM - purpose
• To understand the roles and responsibilities within a
GeoDRM network
• To separate the logic of managing IP from the content
of the IP
• To use a simplified game to simulate the real-world
problem
• To make the abstract problem of digital rights
management more understandable in concrete terms
• To feed the results of the scenario game playing into
the definition of the GeoDRM Reference Model
Imagine yourself transported into the GeoDRM universe
• No longer the normal three dimensions – but
the intellectual property dimensions of rights,
space and time…
• You are now an intellectual property magnate
dealing in the rights to access information. A bit
like rental agreements in the real world.
• You could directly licence individual users to
access “blocks” of intellectual property, or it
may be easier to delegate licensing
responsibility to intermediaries
• Licence management is the process of
ensuring a user’s information request falls
inside that user’s licence extents

Post-Mortem of Scenario 1:
• What worked?
• What did not work?
• How can we make it simpler?
• What other actors are needed?
• What other props are needed?
• How representative is this of the real world?
