Description

The mod_authena RSS 1.0 module augments the RSS core and Dublin Core module's metadata with channel and item-level elements specific to digital rights management.

The elements <authena:pristine>, <authena:watermarked>, and <authena:thumbnailed> may apply to all digital media.

For pictures/photographs:

For books/text:

For music/audio:

For music/audio:

These elements should represent URIs which point to the resources, or to URIs from which the resources may be generated. Some of the resources may be password protected or encrypted.
