Abstract
In the point of view of copyright, license agreements are required for proper reuse of web contents. In this paper, a new license agreement model and a licensing system for reuse of web contents are proposed. With this model and system, both providers and users of web contents can find the point of compromise to make license agreements dynamically. The system responds to users’ requests and generates license agreements according to the directives, which are registered by providers. In order to adjust the directives, providers can search requested conditions and agreed conditions of users. On the other hand, when users search for available contents for reuse, three independent conditions of search are combined: 1) substance of content, 2) allowed use conditions, and 3) license fee. In this paper, the prototype licensing system is also described.
