How did ERM come to be?
• Challenges in license management
– Storing license information
– Managing license acquisition workflow
– Quick reference for questions of use:
– “Can I do this with this resource?”
• Innovative’s response:
– Customer-initiated
– Real-world architecture
– Real-world requirements:
• Ticklers
• Multi-value fields
• Layered permissions
• Digital Library Federation’s Electronic
Resources Management Initiative (ERMI)
