AP creates News Registry to track and protect content online
Following its spring promise to protect news content online, the Associated Press (AP) management today confirmed its ambitious plan to markup and track text - and then photos and video content of its partners and members of the organization. For this, a News Registry will be created.
First, the registry will track the content of the AP, and in early 2010 it will start processing the content of other members of the association. AP intends to fund the registry throughout 2010. Further, it is expected to be self-sustaining. One of the registry technologies will be a “beacon” that will tell the AP how the content is being used. In this case, the registry will take into account a wide variety of business models - from free published content to paid access.
Rest assured, this initiative will cause discontent among people.
(We will surely hear more interesting things about this).
AP is trying to convince everyone that these measures are not directed against Google and bloggers, but are designed to give newsgivers tools to increase and protect business profitability and, as an alternative, the ability to make access to their content paid.
It must be intriguing to many media, but will they agree to participate in this project?

Some details:
- the registry will use the microformat developed by AP
- the microformat puts the content in a “wrapper” containing digital rights “that allow the publisher to determine how its content should be used on the web and to carry important information that searches and monitors the use of the content”
- the registry will provide statistics on content consumption, paid services and help protect publisher rights
- AP believes that the registry could also implement the initial idea of ​​creating special search pages that would become “authoritative sources” by offering links to search-optimized news pages that provide the user with timely and high-quality information. AP continues to work on this idea. ”
