RDR-N: SoundRecording DetailsByTerritory (version 1.3)

Each SoundRecording node must include one or more SoundRecordingDetailsByTerritorynodes.  The first SoundRecordingDetailsByTerritory node includes data which would apply for this SoundRecording in all territories as a default, unless specifically overridden by further information provided in subsequent SoundRecordingDetailsByTerritory nodes. Most implementers of the RDR-R message currently specify that only one SoundRecordingDetailsByTerritory node should be supplied per SoundRecording. (This does not preclude the delivery of multi-territory rights ownership information.)

Implementation Notes

  • TerritoryCode – This defines the territory or territories covered by this node.  ‘Worldwide’ is defined as an allowed value.  When listing an exception (i.e. to Worldwide) an ExcludedTerritoryCode should be used. 

  • Title –  In SoundRecordingDetailsByTerritory’ this tag can be used to express the title in another language, or an alternative title applicable in a given territory.  This is in accordance with ERN-3 profile rules.  See also: Title LanguageAndScriptCode/TitleText/SubTitle.

Example of Title

<Title LanguageAndScriptCode="en" TitleType="DisplayTitle">
      <TitleText>My Song</TitleText>
      <SubTitle>Album Version</SubTitle>
</Title>

  • DisplayArtist – This is the artist name as associated with the recording.  (See also the HostSoundCarrier node for artist name as associated with a given release on which the sound recording appears).  The “artist name” element is solely descriptive information (i.e. does not convey or necessarily imply information about rights, performances or contributions.)  MLCs use this for matching to usage.

    • Example of a band name DisplayArtist: “The Weeknd”

    • Example of several artists as DisplayArtist: “The Beatles & Tony Sheridan”

    • Example of a ‘virtual’ band DisplayArtist: “Gorillaz”.

    When the DisplayArtist is provided, the following are mandatory:

    • FullName

    • RoleCode

    MainArtist is a RoleCode and only applies to DisplayArtist.  MainArtist is the principal credited artist associated with a resource.
    Note that the DisplayArtist composite may occur several times with the tag SequenceNumber set to different integer values.  The SequenceNumber value is used as part of the enumeration of the artists to whom the recording is associated.

Example of DisplayArtist

<DisplayArtist SequenceNumber="0">
  <PartyName LanguageAndScriptCode="en">
    <FullName>The Weeknd</FullName>
  </PartyName>
  <PartyId>
    <ProprietaryId Namespace="PADPIDA2007061301U">1234567
    </ProprietaryId>
  </PartyId>
  <ArtistRole>MainArtist</ArtistRole>
</DisplayArtist> 

  • DisplayComposer is mandatory when the Genre is ‘Classical’.  (IndirectResourceContributor could also be used in MLC 1.3.1, but it is to be removed in MLC 1.4). For classical recordings, this is needed (along with the work title) in order to disambiguate the recording and to match usage.
    When the DisplayComposer is provided, the following are mandatory:

    • FullName

    • RoleCode

 

  • FeaturedArtist – Some MLCs need data about the contributors to a recording and the nature of their contributions, so that contributors that are eligible and qualifying for equitable remuneration can be paid.  The ‘contribution category’ of a contributor can be ‘featured’ or ‘non-featured’.  MLCs use the contribution category along with the role and/or roles in determining remuneration.
    A FeaturedArtist is either an individual person or a collective (such as an orchestra), referred to by their name and/or the identifier used to designate them within systems such as SCAPR’s IPD.  A FeaturedArtist is a performer who is prominently featured in relation to the release (as opposed to a session musician, who would be aNonFeaturedArtist).
    There will often be multiple FeaturedArtists, enumerated using the SequenceNumber attribute.  For each FeaturedArtist,the following are mandatory:

    • Name/FullName

    • PartyId/IPN (if available)

    • PartyId/ProprietaryId with sender’s proprietary ID

    • InstrumentType

    • DateAndPlaceOfBirth (if available, place is optional)

    • Performance

    • Territory

    Within the DDEX RDR-R message it is also possible to carry the information about performative roles within the ‘ResourceContributor’ composite.  Under present usage however, the principal way of conveying data about FeaturedArtist and NonFeaturedArtist is within the dedicated composites – ResourceContributor should be used for non-performing roles, such as certain studio roles.

Example: FeaturedArtist

<FeaturedArtist SequenceNumber="0">
  <InstrumentType>VOC</InstrumentType>
  <Sex>Female</Sex>
  <DateAndPlaceOfBirth TerritoryCode="GB">1986-08-02
  </DateAndPlaceOfBirth>
  <TerritoryOfResidency>GB</TerritoryOfResidency>
  <PartyId Namespace="IPN">12345678</PartyId>
  <PartyId Namespace="LocalPerformerId">12345678</PartyId>
  <PartyName>
    <FullName>Jane Doe</FullName>
    <NamesBeforeKeyName>Jane</NamesBeforeKeyName>
    <KeyName>Doe</KeyName>
  </PartyName>
  <ArtistRole Namespace="SDEGRoleCode" UserDefinedValue="MU">
    UserDefined</ArtistRole>
  <TerritoryOfPerformance>GB</TerritoryOfPerformance>
  <PerformanceDate>2014-06-10</PerformanceDate>
</FeaturedArtist>

  • FeaturedNonContractedArtist is a further contribution category used only by some MLCs, which refers to a contribution by an artist who appears prominently in relation to the release but who is not signed to the label (appearing under a ‘sideman’ contract for example).
    For each FeaturedNonContractedArtist, the same information is mandatory as with FeaturedArtist above.

 

  • A NonFeaturedArtist always an individual person, referred to by their name and identifier, who has contributed to the recording but is not featured prominently in relation to the release, e.g. a session musician.
    For each NonFeaturedArtist, the same information is mandatory as with FeaturedArtist and FeaturedNonContractedArtist above.

Example: NonFeatureadArtist

<NonFeaturedArtist SequenceNumber="0">
  <InstrumentType>DRU</InstrumentType>
  <InstrumentType>GTR</InstrumentType>
  <Sex>Male</Sex>
  <DateAndPlaceOfBirth TerritoryCode="US">1990-01-18
  </DateAndPlaceOfBirth>
  <TerritoryOfResidency>FR</TerritoryOfResidency>
  <PartyId Namespace="LocalPerformerId">SX1234567</PartyId>
  <PartyName>
    <FullName>John Smith</FullName>
    <NamesBeforeKeyName>John</NamesBeforeKeyName>
    <KeyName>Smith</KeyName>
  </PartyName>
  <ArtistRole Namespace="SDEGRoleCode" UserDefinedValue="MU">
    UserDefined</ArtistRole>
  <TerritoryOfPerformance>GB</TerritoryOfPerformance>
  <PerformanceDate>2014-06-10</PerformanceDate>
</NonFeaturedArtist>
 
  

  • Roles – Within the FeaturedArtist, FeaturedNonContractedArtist and NonFeaturedArtist contribution categories the ArtistRole node expresses one PrimaryRole and optionally further AdditionalRoles in which the performer has contributed to the recording. 
    Roles such as soloist, musician, conductor, and so on can be expressed using DDEX role codes or if appropriate using SCAPR SDEG role codes.  InstrumentType details can also be provided.

  • ResourceContributor – Contributions to the recording that are not performance based should be carried in the ResourceContributor node, annotated by details of the role(s) such as Director etc.
    Example: to show that a role of video director is displayed on a product, use: Video\VideoDetailsByTerritory\ResourceContributor and use PartyName\FullName for the director, also using the ArtistRole with a role code for ‘director’.
    Note: The definition of this field is different between the RDR and ERN standards.

  • InitialProducer – DDEX defines the term InitialProducer as being a party that initiates the creation of the SoundRecording.  This is the legal entity responsible for the creation of the recording.  This term relates to a definition “producer of phonograms” in the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty, being “the person, or the legal entity, who or which takes the initiative and has the responsibility for the first fixation of the sounds of a performance or other sounds, or the representations of sounds.”  MLCs sometimes term this party ‘commissioning producer’.

  • RightsController - This is mandatory along with the following fields

    • PartyName/FullName

    • PartyId/ProprietaryId with sender’s proprietary ID.  Local producer ID is always used by MLCs.

    • PartyId/ProprietaryId with recipient’s proprietary ID

    • RightsControllerType – This is mandatory for PPL.  Type of rights holder can be OriginalCopyrightOwner, SuccessorInTitle, or ExclusiveLicensee as defined by the DDEX AVS.

    • RightSharePercentage.  The percentage of rights owned between the start and end dates of ownership. (12.5 = 12.5%).

    • DelegatedUsageRights

    • UsageType.  The type of use for which the recording may be licensed.  This takes a value from the DDEX AVS.

    • PeriodOfRightsDelegation/StartDate

    • TerritoryOfRightsDelegation  expressed as ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes or Worldwide.

  • OriginalResourceReleaseDate can be to the nearest year and is used by MLCs in assessing whether the copyright term has expired or not.  The TerritoryCode conveys the country(ies) of (simultaneous) first publication, which is a 'point of attachment' determining eligibility under the treaties.

Example: OriginalResourceReleaseDate

<OriginalResourceReleaseDate TerritoryCode="US">2011-01-02
  </OriginalResourceReleaseDate>
<OriginalResourceReleaseDate TerritoryCode="GB">2012-01-02
  </OriginalResourceReleaseDate>

  • The PLine states the rightsholder detail at the time the time when the recording was published, and is not necessarily the same as the InitialProducer.  It is the nationality of the InitialProducer that is one of the 'points of attachment' determining eligibility under the treaties.  The mandatory fields for PLIne are:

    • Year

    • PlineText

    Since PLineText will be deprecated by DDEX in future versions of the standard but remains mandatory for the time being, it may be left blank.

  • HostSoundCarrier’s ReleaseId - at least one of the following sub elements is mandatory:

    • ICPN

    • CatalogNumber

    • CatalogNumber

    • ProprietaryId

  • HostSoundCarrier/Title is the title of the sound carrier / album that contains the track.

  • HostSoundCarrier/DisplayArtist is the Name/FullName of the MainArtist of the sound/carrier on which the track is featured.

  • HostSoundCarrier/LabelName is used for matching.  It is safer to include label information at the HostSoundCarrier node for a release than in the SoundRecordingDetailsByTerritory.

  • HostSoundCarrier/NumberOfSoundRecordingsClaimedInCarrier helps to avoid double claims in compilations, and helps to avoid omitting relevant recordings

  • Genre
    There are hundreds of genres and they correspond more to how an artist wants to be perceived or placed than to any objective criteria.
    MLCs use Genre only for classical music as a trigger for special processing, such as to ensure composer information is present, and to apply matching rules better suited to classical metadata.  In future DDEX may replace this within the RDR-R message using a flag isClassical.
