Share and monetization of productions on the secondary market
Finding the assets that already exist around a work, instead of paying to produce them a second time.
The problem
Around any work, elements have already been produced and paid for: language versions, accessibility assets, masters, promotional material. Another organisation needs one of them, and very often it exists somewhere in Europe. But nothing makes it findable, so it is commissioned again from scratch. Today the search happens by email and by spreadsheet, and sometimes it is simply abandoned.
How it works
-
01
Describe what exists
A participant (opens in a new tab) Participant An organisation admitted to the data space, identified under its rules and able to exchange within it. describes, in its own local catalogue (opens in a new tab) Local catalogue The list of offerings a participant publishes from its own connector, describing the data and services it exposes. , the assets it holds around its works, with their technical description, indexed on a shared unique identifier.
-
02
Publish an offering
The description is published to the federated catalogue (opens in a new tab) Federated catalogue The mechanism that makes the offerings of every participant discoverable together, without centralising any data. , with the terms on which it can be reached. It is the shared identifier that makes searching possible from one participant to the next.
-
03
Search across participants
Another participant searches, in a single query, for the asset it needs across the local catalogues it has contracted access to.
-
04
Acquire the asset
It finds one. A contract is signed directly with the provider, and the asset is acquired.
-
05
Settle bilaterally
The transaction is bilateral between the data consumer and the data provider: TAMIS is not party to the contract. One model seen in the pilot is a fixed price per selected asset, paid once, set from a cost per minute.

What it takes
A connector (opens in a new tab) Connector The software component a participant runs, or has run for it, to exchange data inside the data space. It enforces identity, contracts and policies. , assets described against a shared unique identifier, and bilateral contracts: one to reach a partner’s local catalogue, one to acquire an asset from it.
What it changes
- An asset that already exists is found instead of being made again, so the time and cost of reuse drop.
- For the organisation that produced it, new revenue on something already paid for, and a simpler way to expose it.
- More European works travelling beyond their first market, with the elements needed to do so.
- Without TAMIS: email, spreadsheets, and often making the asset all over again.
