RDE - Royalty Data Exchange

The RDE working group has the following main tasks:

• Putting together the Business Rules for the group
• Maintaining the CRD format
• Sharing Requirements and Use Cases

This group is chaired by Ingrid Strömbäck (STIM) and Frank Kruyer (Kobalt Music Group).

The Common Royalty Distribution Format (CRD) is an electronic data interchange format to report details of distributed royalties from Society to Society or from Society to Members. This format contains details to make the distribution more complete and more efficient.

This standard is also under a constant review of the Working Group and Forum due to the need to have the most complete, reliable and updated information in the distribution.

Latest specifications can be found in the CRD Document Pack
