DDEX Implementation Conferences

Thursday 23rd October in New York, USA
Tuesday 28th October in Santa Monica, USA
Thursday 6th November in Paris, France

Digital Data Exchange, LLC ("DDEX") is pleased to announce that it is holding three Implementation Conferences in New York, Santa Monica and Paris. The conferences are aimed primarily at operational and technical personnel of any companies operating in the digital content value chain but will be of value to anyone interested in the automation of business-to-business data exchange for digital content markets.

DDEX was set up to develop a single set of standard XML messages for the business-to-business communication of information between organisations operating in the digital content value chain. DDEX was launched in May 2006 by the four major music content companies, major music rights societies in the US and Europe and leading digital and mobile music service providers. Therefore its work thus far has focused on developing standard message formats for the communication of data about digital music.

Agenda

The agenda for the conferences will include:

  • A general introduction to DDEX, its formation and operation;
  • A detailed review of all of the DDEX standards; including five new standards that will be announced shortly;
  • A case studies given by companies that have recently implemented DDEX's standards; and
  • An introduction to DDEX's future work-plan

Over a dozen companies, including music content companies, music rights societies and digital and mobile service providers, are now implementing DDEX standards. Some of these companies will present the implementation case studies at each of the Implementation Conferences. All three Implementation Conferences will commence at 9:30 am and conclude no later than 4:00 pm.
