Match strategy examples

The following examples illustrate use cases of the different match strategies.

Note

In the following examples, France and Germany are subsets of Europe which is in turn a subset of World, and Social is a subset of Digital but Traditional is not.

Any

This example uses the following rights profiles with an Any match strategy:

Start

End

Territories

Media

Sep 14, 2020 12:00 AM

May 1, 2021 12:00 AM

World

Social

May 5, 2020 12:00 AM

Jan 1, 2021 12:00 AM

Europe

Digital

If you try to download an associated asset with the following intended use:

  • Start date: May 8, 2020

  • End date: December 31, 2020

  • Territory: France

  • Media: Digital

The intended use matches the second rights profile, but not the first; however, since the Any match strategy only requires one of the rights profiles to be satisfied, the download is permitted.

If you try to download an associated asset with the following intended use:

  • Start date: September 8, 2020

  • End date: December 31, 2020

  • Territory: France

  • Media: Traditional

This time, the intended use does not match either of the rights profiles, so the download is denied.

All

This example uses the following rights profiles with an All match strategy:

Start

End

Territories

Media

Sep 7, 2020 12:00 AM

Dec 31, 2020 11:55 PM

World

Social

May 5, 2020 12:00 AM

France

Digital

If you try to download an associated asset with the following intended use:

  • Start date: September 8, 2020

  • End date: October 31, 2020

  • Territory: France

  • Media: Social

The intended use matches both rights profiles; because the All match strategy requires all rights profiles to be satisfied, the download is permitted.

If you try to download an associated asset with the following intended use:

  • Start date: December 1, 2020

  • End date: December 29, 2020

  • Territory: Europe

  • Media: Digital

This time, the intended use does not match the second rights profile, so the download is denied.

Subject-based

This example uses the following rights profiles with a Subject-based match strategy:

Start

End

Territories

Media

Subject

Jan 1, 2020 12:00 AM

Dec 31, 2020 11:55 PM

France and Germany

Digital

Subject A

Aug 1, 2020 12:00 AM

Dec 31, 2021 11:55 PM

France

Digital

Subject B

The match strategy combines the usage rights granted by each subject, calculating an optimized rights profile that satisfies them both. The asset can only be used between August 2020 and December 2020, in France, for digital media.

If you try to download an associated asset with the following intended use:

  • Start date: August 1, 2020

  • End date: December 31, 2020

  • Territory: France

  • Media: Digital

The intended use matches the optimized rights profile, so the download is permitted.

If you try to download an associated asset with the following intended use:

  • Start date: May 4, 2020

  • End date: December 31, 2020

  • Territory: France

  • Media: Digital

This time, the intended use does not match the optimized rights profile, so the download is denied.
