An apparatus, computer program, and method are provided for generating an intermediate entitlement specification that specifies one or more access rights in connection with a service or content. A plurality of entitlement policies is stored that are configured for being used to determine one or more entitlements to be sent to a device. In operation, an offer specification is received, and at least one of the plurality of entitlement policies is identified based on the offer specification. An intermediate entitlement specification is generated that specifies one or more access rights in connection with a service or content, based on at least one entitlement policy. In use, a run-time entitlement specification may be generated, in response to a request for the service or content during a run-time. Further, in one embodiment, the run-time entitlement specification may be generated utilizing at least one intermediate entitlement specification.

Apparatus, computer program, and method for generating an intermediate entitlement specification for controlling access to service or content

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for content metadata and authorization exchange between content providers and service providers. In use, content metadata from each of a plurality of content providers is stored in a central repository for use in identifying to each of a plurality of service providers content of the content providers that is accessible to the service provider. Furthermore, communications between the content providers and the service providers associated with authorizations for content access are proxied via a central proxy.

System, method, and computer program for content metadata and authorization exchange between content providers and service providers

A computer system comprising a number of components which make up an infrastructure with the system having a Directoryand an APS which is adapted to centralize and automate information management for online service systems.

Automated provisioning system

An automated provisioning system for provisioning a service or device in a communications network, which system comprises a listener () adapted to receive a request from a user and a driver adapted to control operation of the service or device. The driver supports a describe operation, which enumerates which operations are available for the user and co-operates with a control processor (), which mediates between the driver and a data store holding information on which operations are available for the user. When a request to provision an available operation is received, the control processor () mediates between the data store and driver to determine what information is required to provision the service or device and to permit the driver to provision the service or device. The system dispenses with the table driven approach of known systems.
