MWN hub profile

This hub profile describes what data is to be included in MWN 1.1 messages sent to a hub. Its rules therefore only apply to parties such as record companies and music publishers communicating with a hub and may or may not apply when these parties communicate directly.

The hub profile has been compiled based on the rules used by MDX. It consists of three sets of rules:

  1. General rules, which apply to all MWN messages;

  2. Claim request rules, which apply to MusicalWorkClaimRequestMessages sent by record companies to a hub; and

  3. Claim notification rules, which apply to MusicalWorkClaimNotificationMessages sent by publishers to a hub.

The hub profile is expected to become a standard for the next version of the MWN Standard.

General Rules

The hub must be among the recipients of the message (MessageRecipient in the MessageHeader).

The actual name of the message file must be given in MessageFileName in the MessageHeader.

MessageControlType in the MessageHeader must not be TestMessage (unless the message is a test message agreed with the hub).

The SoundRecordingId/ISRC of each SoundRecording in the ResourceList and VideoId/ISRC of each Video in the ResourceList must be given.

The Title/TitleText of each SoundRecording and Video in the ResourceList must not be a blank string.

The Title/TitleText of each MusicalWork in the WorkList must not be a blank string.

The PartyName/FullName of each Party in the PartyList must not be a blank string.

If an IpiNameNumber is given as a PartyId for a Party, the value must be exactly 11 digits.

Claim Request Rules

Each Request in the RequestList must have a RequestId that is unique for the record company (i.e. not only in this message).

If right share specific information is requested using Request/MusicalWorkShareRequest, the RightsControllerRequestId must have a value that is unique across all requests in the message (i.e. not only within the Request).

For each MusicalWork in the WorkList, at least one SoundRecording or Video in the ResourceList must be given.

For each MusicalWork in the WorkList, at least one Release in the ReleaseList must be given. Each of these Releases is linked to the MusicalWork via a SoundRecording or Video in the ResourceList.

The Title/TitleText of each Release in the ReleaseList must not be a blank string.

If both a StartDate and an EndDate are given for a Condition/ValidityPeriod of a Request in the RequestList, the StartDate must not be later or equal to the EndDate.

Claim Notification Rules

If a RightShare's XML attribute IsNetPublisherShare is set to true, the XML elements IsFollowerInTitleOf and HasOriginalPublisherShare are not allowed.

For any RightShare with RightShareType=MusicalWorkCollectionShare whose XML attribute IsNetPublisherShare is missing or false, the XML element IsFollowerInTitleOf is required.

If both a StartDate and an EndDate are given for a ValidityPeriod of a RightShare in the RightShareList, the StartDate must not be later or equal to the EndDate.

If a RightSharePercentage is given for a RightShare that is a MusicalWorkManuscriptShare, a MusicalWorkCollectionShare, or an OriginalPublisherShare referenced by a MusicalWorkCollectionShare, the value must be greater than 0 and less or equal to 100.
