Trial Action for Digital Object Exchange

Obiettivo

Even though a strong effort has been recently devoted to digital object transfer issues, there is still the lack of common consensus and the need of standardisation in this area. The main objective of TRADEX is to set up a trial for assessing solutions resulting from recent research activities on digital object exchange, with the aims of enhancing the marketing of tradable multimedia related to cultural heritage.

TRADEX will carry out an international co-operation for the establishment of a world-wide common working platform (Japanese actors are involved), deploy the results of European research in the field of electronic treatment of IPR, foster the penetration of methodologies and technologies towards cultural institutions and governments, contribute to create a critical mass of buyers and sellers of cultural digital objects, identify solutions to be recommended to the involved governments as technical annexes to national directives.

Work description:
TRADEX restricts the trial domain to the on-line multimedia object transfer. At technological level, TRADEX will first consider available copyright marking technologies for solving the illegal copying and proof of ownership problems in the context of multimedia objects.
TRADEX will focus on the convergence on common criteria for:
- content fidelity preservation;
- robustness to attack;
- applicability to audio, image, and video data, including synthetic objects.

TRADEX assumes the e-commerce scheme based on digital signature and public key encryption. This introduces further points of which common background should be agreed, such as the integration of digital signature and watermarking techniques, and Digital Object Identification and ownership certification.

Thanks to the involvement of Smart Card producer, new-generation smart card technologies will be integrated and tested. MPEG-4 compliant tools will be deployed in the trial in order to test some Intellectual Property Management & Protection (IPMP) methods. The analysis of the market and the available, but still not-assessed, technologies will lead to the trial technical specification and the definition of the TRADEX business case. Integration and fine tuning activities on the aforementioned technologies will create the trial, which will be strictly monitored and measured during its running.
Assessment will give indicators of the technical performance and the business service impact. The agreement between Regional Government of Tuscany (Italy) and the Prefecture of Gifu (Japan), will be the building block to implement the international co-operation of TRADEX. For each type of participants, e.g. content providers, publishers, technology providers and institutional bodies; there will be representatives both from Europe and from Japan. Primary market and technological leaders are involved in TRADEX activities. Intense activity will be carried out for disseminating the project results.

Milestones:
An analysis of the available technologies carried out. The business case as well as the trial technical requirements consolidated.
The integration phase results in two versions of the testbed:
1. A TRADEX-THIN trial as small sized testbed as a result of the fine-tuning activities on the technological components;
2. TRADEX-LARGE trial as the testbed to be monitored.
An evaluation report delivered taken from the trial results. Exploitation and dissemination plans.
