the rights in the sections to follow may be collectively given by a single “Use” right. This right may be defined as a collection of the rights, or may be defined in a stand-alone
manner, even in the absence of the finer detailed usage rights.
9.5.3.2.4.2 View, Display, Print right
The “View” right shall allow a licensee to view the resource as a map properly scaled graphic representation, either vector or raster. This is the default minimal right, in that it
is included almost universally in any licence that is of value. When the creation of derived or combined resource is allowed, the view right shall be licensable by the user
holding the “derive” rights under which the resource was created. The limits of those licences may be restricted by that user’s rights condition.
Since the usefulness of separating print, or display such as from within an embedding document from view is highly questionable; this specification does not distinguish
between these. Implementation specifications may do so if the environments in which they work have a reason to do so. There is a technical issue that most browsers or other
display software components are probably not DRM enabled and so separation of these rights may require acquisition of special display software to enforce them.
9.5.3.2.4.3 Combine, merge right
The “Combine” right shall allow a licensee to integrate the resource with other resources in a map in the same coordinate reference system. All input resources must carry this
same combine right and be of the same information type e.g. all images, all maps, all feature collections.
9.5.3.2.4.4 Extract Resource or Copy right
The “Extract Resource” right shall allow a licensee to create a fully software-accessible local copy of all or part of the resource subject to further GeoDRM controls on the local
systems in support of a specified simultaneous number of identified licensed users.
The “Copy” right shall allow a licensee to create one exact duplicate of the resource that can be stored locally subject to an equivalent right management system or for archival
purposes. In this sense, the copy act is an extract resource act where the entire resource is extracted.
Conformant geoservers may automatically get an extract right to maintain levels of performance. In which case, the local GeoDRM Gatekeeper shall be required to make
judgements on these local resources based on the licences available to specific users. The logic in this is conformant servers are qualified to maintain the integrity of the licence-to-
resource relationship, and as such may act as a resource-provider agent of the owner without specific licence. This means that the required agent’s licence would be included
in the local grant context of the GeoDRM Gatekeeper.
9.5.3.2.4.5 Spatial Transform or Adjust right
The “Spatial Transform” right shall allow a licensee to create a fully software-accessible local copy of the resource in a new coordinate system subject to further GeoDRM
controls on the local systems in support of a specified simultaneous number of identified licensed users. The type of coordinate system can be restricted by conditions placed on
this right.
A slightly stronger “Spatial Fit” or “Adjust” allows a licensee to make minor adjustment in coordinates to fit an external source, such as a triangulated net or image. This is a

on the requirements of the process and potentially dependent on the accuracy of the data, the fitting may be done to the vector, to the raster or to both.
