What is Coral Consortium's relation with other interoperability efforts related to DRM, such as CR Forum, UPnP, MPEG-21, and DMP?
Coral Consortium addresses the problem of interoperability between DRM and media format approaches by leveraging service-oriented architecture; this is not addressed elsewhere. The group's specifications will allow migration of media and user rights between different domains, and where possible, it will use existing specifications that are appropriate (e.g., web services specifications). The Consortium's specifications are transport and network-agnostic. There are other groups looking at DRM interoperability; these tend to focus on agreement of format, rights expression, and other technologies. Coral Consortium's approach supports these types of efforts but also allows for monolithic approaches to interoperate without changing their technology.
How does Coral relate to DLNA?
Coral and DLNA are complementary. DLNA has defined a platform of network interoperability for PC's, consumer electronic devices and mobile devices that is based on open and established industry standards. This platform is one on which DRM interoperability a-la Coral can ride, transparently. DLNA and Coral have established an informal liaison relationship to better enable a productive and collaborative relationship.
How does Coral interoperability relate to OMA interoperability?
OMA has standardized a DRM system. Using Coral, OMA-based DRM implementations could interoperate with other DRM systems.
