EDItX · Next Steps
• Subscription services
• Usage of EDItX focused on “sales”
• What’s a “sale” in a subscription service?
• Glossary/term definition should be updated for existing and upcoming business models
• How does this affect taxation among publishers, retailers and users?
EDItX · Next Steps
• Could EDItX be useful for BI?
• We store everything in secure databases => apply Data Science / BI from there
• But if EDItX-based BI solutions appear... (http://www.bic.org.uk/files/pdfs/110830%20dsr%20guidelines%20final%20rev.pdf)
