Defining the metadata and price for all content formats is done once
Publishing and stocking for all content formats is done once
Choosing and delivering compatible content formats to subscribers is
automatically done for them
For example, a content provider has a ring tone, Melody, to submit. The content is
submitted with the ringtone content type. After the content is submitted, the
content provider then submits an edition of Melody that has a monophonic
format. The monophonic version of Melody is automatically assigned the
metadata and price of the initial submission.
Content Protection
Previously the Content Delivery Server offered digital rights protection of content
with Sun Java System Content Delivery Server Digital Rights Management (CDS
DRM) agents. The current version of the Content Delivery Server offers additional
DRM agents that can be applied to content, as described in
TABLE 2-1.
The system administrator determines which DRM types are available in the Content
Delivery Server at deployment time. The system administrator can choose one or
more of the following DRM options:
None (no DRM protection)
CDS DRM
CDS OMA DRM 1.0 Forward Lock
OMA DRM 1.0
To use OMA DRM 1.0 in the Content Delivery Server, you must have an OMA
DRM 1.0 provider. See the Sun Java System Content Delivery Server Installation
Guide for details.
