From: Adams, Juliette [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 9:59 AM Subject: LTSC-DREL: IEEE LTSC-DREL WG: Request for Input on Educational and Training Requirements All- The Digital Rights Expression Languages (DREL) workgroup within the IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee is gathering requirements that a standardized Digital Rights Expression Language (DREL) must meet to support learning, education and training. DREL standardization efforts exist, are well advanced and are supported by large industry groups (multimedia, consumer electronics, telecommunications, the IT industry etc.) We assume that such languages will be incorporated into technology in this decade. Our goal is not to create another DREL standard but to ensure that existing standards can be effectively used by the educational community. To this end, we are asking for your/your group's input and feedback. The attached document explains what a standardized DREL can do and what type of applications we envision for it. We invite you to submit comments and (especially) specific areas and scenarios which you feel a standardized DREL should support. Feedback should be submitted in the form of email to [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] (See http://ltsc.ieee.org/ltsc-lists.htm for instructions on subscribing to the list.) Best, Juliette Adams
