Abstract

Rights Expression Languages (RELs) are a central component of contemporary digital rights management systems. They are applied to express permissions, obligations and prohibitions in a machine-processable form. Since the early 1990s we can ob-serve a massive increase in RELs for purposes such as access control, license management or contracting. This paper presents a genealogy of RELs since 1989, proposes a classification that helps better understand their functional focus and application area and gives an outlook on research perspectives.
