Description
- This patent application is a continuation of and claims the benefit of priority to U.S. application Ser. No. 12/107,646, filed on Apr. 22, 2008. The content of the aforementioned patent application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for any purpose whatsoever.
- The present invention relates in general to a method and apparatus for providing a record for a creative work and more particularly to providing a permanent record defined by one or more authors to include information describing a creative work.
- As the number of works of art increase and the ontology of these works evolve, challenges and increasing challenges are created in the cataloguing of such works. Conventional methods and devices provide labeling and cataloguing works of art. One conventional method includes manual cataloguing of works of art such as a printed publication or catalogue raisonne. Typically, individuals other than the artists themselves are responsible for provide information to describe the works of art for such catalogues. As such, conventional methods are susceptible to false or incomplete information and/or false credit may be provided for such works of art. Further, information associated with a particular work of art may not be aligned with the views of the artists for such works. Manual cataloguing is limited in its ability to provide information about a work of art. The ability to determine information related to the authors responsible for the entries is limited. Manually collecting information from each artist to describe works of art may be unpractical and inconsistent.
- Another conventional method includes labeling actual works of art with identification markers. However, these methods are limited in the amount of data which may be attached to or associated with each work of art. Further, such methods do not provide a standard or secure process for accessing such data or for providing the data in a common or structured form. Additionally, these conventional methods assume that data associated with a particular work of art has and will be preserved. However, these assumptions may no longer be valid. Data provided by these conventional methods may be susceptible to error, loss, damage, corruption and fraud.
- While conventional methods providing cataloguing of works of art, such methods struggle to meet the requirements for providing a secure, permanent, authoritative record of the work. Moreover, the information can be considered unreliable given the inconsistency of current collection methods.
- Disclosed and claimed herein are a system and method for providing a permanent data record for a creative work. In one embodiment, a method is provided including receiving a request for a permanent data record to be issued for a creative work. The request can indicate a type of data record to be issued. The method may also include receiving data corresponding to the creative work. A permanent data record can be generated using the received data, such that the received data is unalterable. The method can further include associating the permanent data record with the creative work.
- Other aspects, features, and techniques of the invention will be apparent to one skilled in the relevant art in view of the following detailed description of the invention.
-

As used herein, an author may relate to at least one of an artist, painter, sculptor, designer, composer, authors and author in general credited with creating a creative work. According to another embodiment, the permanent record may include information associated with the creative work. The information may be stored electronically as a data record. Further, the data record may be readable by one or more designated users to receive information associated with the creative work.
- Another embodiment of the invention is to provide a system configured to issue and maintain permanent records for a plurality of creative works. The system may include a server configured to issue data records to authors. The server may further be configured to retrieve data stored with a data record related to the creative work. According to another embodiment, the system may include a database configured to store data records. The server may be used to transmit and receive data in relation to a user terminal. The system may interoperate with a data communication network to issue data records to an author operating a user terminal.
- According to another embodiment, a computer program product is provided for supplying data records for creative works. The computer program product may include computer readable program code to issue data records for creative works. According to another embodiment, the computer program product may include computer readable program code to store data as a non-editable computer readable file.
- Another aspect of the invention is directed to providing an open content reference database for creative works.
