“…It is, however, restricted to analyzing the economic exchange between companies active in an e-commerce business. Some ontology development has also been recently noticed in understanding regulation, for example IPROnto (Delgado, Gallego, Llorente, & García, 2003) which presents a formalization of the concepts in digital rights management. In the Electricity industry power quality measurement related ontology has been presented in PQONT (Küçük, Salor, Inan, Çadırcı, & Ermis, 2010).…”

Abstract:The deregulation of economies has re-created the need for regulation. From a Systems perspective, the unbundling of large monolithic industrial setups into smaller independent companies results in the dissolution of high level management structures which, in the pre-deregulated era, had the overall control of the end-to-end delivery process. In the absence of such holistic oversight mechanisms, deregulated industries remain vulnerable to systemic failure. Industry regulators need to go beyond the usual concerns of price, quality, and access, and invest in methods that capture the interactions between the different stakeholders in an industry. It is the understanding of the individual interactions that can help piece together a holistic view of the industry; thereby allowing the regulator to devise well informed interventions. In this paper we model industry interactions as a multi-party value realization process and take a Systems approach in analyzing them. Every value realization is analyzed both at the industry level and at the level of stakeholders within the industry. The design patterns that emerge from this whole/composite view of value realization form the basis for formalizing the concepts required to analyze the working of an industry. An explicit specification of these concepts is presented as Regulation Enabling Ontology, REGENT.

IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) Management is a complex domain. The IPR field is structured by evolving regulations, practises, business models,… Therefore, DRMS (Digital Rights Management Systems) are very difficult to develop and maintain. The NewMARS DRMS is our contribution to this field. A knowledge oriented approach has been chosen in order to make this development capable of dealing with this complicated domain. This requirement and the objective of easy Web integration have made the Semantic Web technologies the best choice. NewMARS is a semantics enabled metadata managing system. Metadata is associated to IPs (Intellectual Properties) using URIs and it is structured using web ontologies. There are descriptive, rights and e-commerce ontologies for the different views on IPs. Semantic enabled metadata is then used to facilitate content providers to publish intellectual properties offers and customers to find and automatically negotiate purchase conditions. All NewMARS modules are interrelated using the ontologies shared semantics. This has allowed developing very flexible project infrastructures that facilitates easy adaptation to new IP e-commerce scenarios.

“…These arguments carried us to design and build IPROnto [2] using a language based on graphs. When a call for proposals for Part 5 and Part 6 of MPEG-21 was open, we began to design it using the following supports: the IEEE SUO upper ontology [12] which provided interoperability to other ontologies initiatives, for the specific part of e-commerce <indecs> framework as the core IPR e-commerce specific part [13] was chosen, referring to the legal aspects, we were astonished because of the heterogeneity in the countries laws as we have seen in section 2, however we found WIPO recommendations [14] which aim to achieve an agreement.…”
