Enhanced title processing arrangement

A system, comprising:

• an interface implemented on one or more computing devices and configured to receive a first title object that encodes one or more references to one or more rights and a reference to a title object template, the first title object also including a state value, the first title object being a digital bearer instrument;
• and
• at least one processor of the one or more computing devices configured to:
• validate the first title object by determining that the state value included in the first title object corresponds to a stored value for the first title object maintained by a state server;
• identify the title object template from among a plurality of title object templates based on the reference to the title object template included in the first title object;
• retrieve the title object template;
• select a first right of the one or more rights to which the first title object refers;
• assemble a second title object using the identified title object template, the second title object being a digital bearer instrument configured to effect redemption of the first right referred to by the first title object when the second title object is processed by a title processing environment, the second title object including a state value that corresponds to a stored value for the second title object maintained by the state server;
• and
• provide the second title object to a title manager process.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon for performing a computer-implemented method, the method comprising:

• receiving a first title object that encodes one or more references to one or more rights and a reference to a title object template, the first title object also including a state value, the first title object being a digital bearer instrument;
• validating the first title object by determining that the state value included in the first title object corresponds to a stored value for the first title object maintained by a state server;
• identifying the title object template based on the reference to the title object template included in the first title object;
• retrieving the title object template;
• selecting a first right of the one or more rights to which the first title object refers;
• assembling a second title object using the identified title object template, the second title object being a digital bearer instrument configured to effect redemption of the first right referred to by the first title object when the second title object is processed by a title processing environment, the second title object including a state value that corresponds to a stored value for the second title object maintained by the state server;
• and
• providing the second title object to a title manager process.
