More on licensing

Hugo Martin today picks up where David Shaw left off earlier in the week with an interesting proposal for a virtual WMM - the annual magazine licensing meeting in London organised by publishers' industry association, FIPP.

Hugo explains what his idea involves:

Our Idea is a Matchmaking platform with

- Publishers / Objects Profile of publishers offering and asking for matchmaking (and presentations)
- Contact module for un-moderated and moderated Search (RFQ)
- Information section Countries, Regions, Markets with catalog feature
- ERFA / Best Practice / Exchange of experience and Interaction (with various Social Software)
- Resource database sector
- Service-Provider Profiles and presentations

(Later maybe including / connecting an eLearning area).

There is clearly a need for this sort of thing and a shortage of resources, particularly focused on the B2B sector which has some particular needs.
