>>I don't think we need any rendering-metadata. Rendering is a very
>>sophisticated operation that depends on a number of resources such as
>>color, fonts, etc. Different document formats deal with the rendering
>>problem differently. There is an entire market out there for developing
>>improved formats and the corresponding rendering quality. Rights
Management
>>during rendering is very important and I understand the motivation for
your
>>suggestion. But, I sincerely believe that we should leave it to technology
>>companies to provide solutions that enable rights management during
>>rendering. I expect the technology companies to provide RM-support during
>>rendering if we were to standardize on enhanced-DPRL to capture the rights
>>metadata. I can detail this message further if anyone is interested in
more
>>information on this subject.

>>>Clearly there is a lot of work going on in many different

>>>required for resource discovery and related
>>>activities (e.g. linking);  work is also under way (though
>>>it's much earlier days) on rights metadata which is required
>>>to actually carry out a transaction of any
>>>kind.   (We did, of course, realise at the June workshop
>>>that there is no clear-cut distinction, and you often need
>>>m/d which might be considered 'descriptive' for a
>>>transaction and vice versa).   However, I wonder if there
>>>isn't a third kind of metadata - that which is needed for
>>>'rendering', i.e. actually
>>>opening/playing/whatever the electronic file on the
>>>recipient's computer.   Some of the necessary information
>>>will be contained in the file extension (.doc or
>>>whatever), but isn't a good deal more needed?
>>>
>>>Perhaps some of our more technically minded colleagues could
>>>comment on whether work is in fact required in this area
>>>too.   If so, is it appropriate to set up
>>>another working subgroup to start tackling it?
