  • Publication number: 20060074754
    Abstract: A method for creating, managing and storing content offers includes accessing an offer catalogue management module by a content provider, where the content provider supplies a consumer with digital content assets. A collection of digital content assets are reviewed by the content provider, to select a digital content asset offering to the consumer. The availability of the selected digital content asset is determined and a rights layer is applied to the offering. A price scheme is attached to the selected digital content asset to the consumer such that the offer catalogue management module creates a digital content offer based on the selected digital content asset, the availability of the digital content asset, the rights layer of the digital content asset and the price scheme for the digital content asset.
