It shows the design and the implementation of a rights expression exchange framework. The framework allows DRM systems to exchange electronic contracts, formulated in a standardized rights expression language, and thus provides DRM system interoperability. The work introduces a methodology for the standardized composition, exchange and processing of electronic contracts or rights expressions. %K Datenaustausch, XML, Rights Expression Language, Software Engineering, Interoperability, Digital Rights Management %G English
