PABON CADAVID, Jhonny Antonio. Legal protection to metadata and digital copyright management. Ius et Praxis [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.1, pp.57-76. ISSN 0718-0012.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-00122020000100057.

The integrity of copyright metadata (information rights management) is a new subject matter for intellectual property. The WIPO treaties of 1996 established that the integrity of the metadata that provide copyright information must be protected. This article discusses from an interdisciplinary perspective the origin of this kind of legal protection, its objectives and foundations. It analyses how WIPO adopted a vague and imprecise definition of the ISGD. The article highlights the importance of legal metadata for the efficient dissemination of works in digital networks, including works in the public domain, licensing and management of rights and royalties. The development of rights information infrastructures is analyzed as part of new public policies on intellectual property and as a cornerstone to solve the orphan works problem.

Palabras clave : Copyright; metadata; licencing; intellectual property; digital infrastructures.
