5.1 Overall Choreography

The figures below depict the choreography defined by this standard. 

This standard supports two approaches to exchanging Right Share information: Either a (prospective) Licensee and a (prospective) Licensor can exchange information directly with one another, or the communication can be communicated via a central Hub which may act as a information routing service and/or as a Right Share information cache.
