Anomaly Reporting (AR)
The Anomaly Reporting standard provides for means to communicate data anomalies that may, or may not, be based on fraudulent behaviour.
The AR standard enables communication by a company about apparent anomalies it has detected with regard to consumer engagements with a release, resource, work or artist. The standard also defines a message by which a business partner may respond. Means to communicate apparent anomalies regarding content deliveries will be added at a later stage.
The text of each part of the AR standard is available by following the links below:
Part 1 – Communication Protocol
Remember, at least before going live with an implementation, you will need to take out a DDEX Implementation Licence. Information about the Implementation Licence can be found here and the application form is available here.
