Original Works protocol uses the DDEX standard. |
DDEX is a standards setting organisation focused on the creation of digital value chain standards to make the exchange of data and information across the music industry more efficient.
- ERN focuses heavily on the lifecycle of releases, including metadata, deals, and takedown messages, which are specific to the distribution and management of digital releases.
- MWN is centered around the notification and licensing of musical work shares, emphasizing the identification and licensing shares of musical works.
- RDR-N deals with the declaration and management of rights claims related to sound recordings, with a focus on the exchange of rights claims and sales reporting.
- CDM provides detailed mechanisms for communicating claims and discrepancies related to sales/usage reports, with a strong emphasis on financial and royalty claims.
Electronic Release Notification (ERN)
- NewReleaseMessage: Communicates metadata about a new release including descriptive metadata, deals, and other necessary information.
