CDM structure

The CDM has five parts:

  • Part 1: Architecture

    • This defines the file naming convention and the general architecture. This architecture is very broadly the same as is used for DSR;

  • Part 2: Record Type Definitions

    • This defines the record types that are used to make up the four file formats in Part 3 of the standard and those used for the discrepancy formats in Parts 4 and 5 of the standard;

  • Part 3: CDM Statements for Musical Works Claims

    • This defines two profiles to communicate claims and invoice details for musical works either in response to receipt of a DSR Message from a licensee or where the licensee and the licensor agree to exchange data to communicate claims details either before or after any sales and/or usage has been undertaken by the licensee on its service.; 

  • Parts 4: Notification of Data Discrepancies

    • This defines one profile to communicate data discrepancies identified by a licensee that has processed a CDM Statement previously received from a licensor. 

  • Part 5: Notification of Overclaim Discrepancies

    • This defines one profile to communicate overclaim discrepancies identified by a licensee that has processed a CDM Statement previously received from a licensor. 

  • Part 6: CDM Statements for Musical Works Claims including Corrections

    • This define two profiles to communicate claims and invoice details for musical works, and where necessary corrections, either in response to receipt of a DSR Message from a licensee or where the licensee and the licensor agree to exchange data to communicate claims details either before or after any sales and/or usage has been undertaken by the licensee on its service.
