Intellectual Property Meeting NINCH ANNOUNCMENT April 10, 1997 Below is the announcement for a most important 2-day forum at the Library of Congress on Technology-Based Intellectual Property Management. As you know, I think the intersection of copyright legislation, rights-management technology and licensing is of primary importance for us all to understand and influence where we can.

ELECTRONIC COMMERCE FOR CONTENT II Forum on Technology-Based Intellectual Property Management Sponsored by: U.S. Copyright Office White House National Economic Council IMPRIMATUR Interactive Multimedia Association (IMA) White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Dates and Location: April 28-29, 1997 Mumford Room Sixth Floor, Madison Building Library of Congress 1st and Independence Streets, SE Washington, DC Electronic Commerce for Content is the annual inter-sector/ inter-industry forum on issues in technology-based intellectual property management. Building on the success of the first forum held by the Interactive Multimedia Association and the U.S. Copyright Office in March 1996, the forum brings together different creator, industry, and user perspectives on requirements, standards, and implementation. The additional sponsors and the increased scope of program reflects the growing importance of infrastructure for managing access to content and the progress made in many areas over the past year. Priority on the program has been given to new material and reports on significant work in progress. As before, the intent of the forum is to promote understanding of critical technical issues and related market development problems across industries and value chains. Although the focus is on standards and architectural issues rather than proprietary solutions and products, participants are encouraged to bring and share product information and other literature. The agenda for this year's forum includes: * progress reports on digital object identifiers from the Association of American Publishers, the Corporation for National Research Initiatives, and the Copyright Office. * presentations on Internet controls from Netscape Communications, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3), and the Stanford digital library project * a panel by IMPRIMATUR, an international consortium on copyright management supported by the European Commission, on developments in Europe and the consortium's work to date * a presentation by Mark Stefik, Xerox PARC, on the Digital Rights Management Language * a panel on the several initiatives to use technology to mediate use of demographic and personal information on the World Wide Web * a panel on the policy implications of technology-mediated access to content Complete Schedule: April 28 12 noon-1:15 Check-in (Lunch on your own) 1:15-5:00 Welcome and Introductions Digital Object Identifiers Internet Controls April 29 9:00-12:30 IMPRIMATUR New Proposals and Perspectives 12:30-1:30: Break for Lunch April 29, 1:30-5:00 Management of Demographic and Personal Information Policy Implications ** For updated information, see http://www.ima.org/forum Registration: There is no registration fee for ELECTRONIC COMMERCE FOR CONTENT.
