Digital Copyright Management Strategy of Digital Library Based on Blockchain Technology

Abstract

Using blockchain technology to handle the entire chain of digital copyrights in digital libraries not only helps to improve the economy, validity, and fairness of the libraries’ digital resource offerings, but it also increases the revenue of digital copyright subjects in a sustainable manner. In this work, a decentralized, secure, and traceable digital copyright transaction system is designed and implemented using blockchain technology. The system serves creators, administrators, and subscribers through its user layer, business model layer, and Fabric network layer. To guarantee the accuracy and integrity of transaction data, smart contracts are used for the registration of digital works, transaction supervision, and smart contract execution. Fabric Composer is used in the development of the system and offers good scalability. The system still has issues with privacy protection, increasing performance, and complying with laws and regulations. It is anticipated that the digital copyright transaction system will advance in the area of digital copyright protection as blockchain technology develops.
