There currently exists a plurality of digital rights management (DRM) systems on the market, each with its own rights expression language. As a result, when an electronic data object is exported from one DRM system to another DRM system, translation errors are generated, which can cause the irretrievable loss of individual rights granted by the copyright holder. To export rights to use electronic data objects and ensure interoperability between different DRM systems, the original rights to use that can be associated with the electronic data object are exported from data source to the data sink. In this way, the original license is advantageously kept when the rights to use are exported from one DRM system to another DRM system.
