Assets are EditorialObjects or Resources with associated Rights. An «Asset» is an object to which an identifier will be associated at commissioning time. It serves as a central reference point to manage rights associated with EditorialObjects, MediaResources or Essences, and - by inference - PublicationEvents (distribution and exploitation conditions). Remember that the MediaResources or Essences will in this model always be represented by an EditorialObject. Example: The CCDM model allows the association of Rights to a related EditorialObject that is represented by one or more Essences.
