  • XOPPS - OEL PROJECT PLANNER/SCHEDULER TOOL
    1994
    Co-Authors: C. L. Mulnix
    Abstract:

    XOPPS is a window-based graphics tool for scheduling and project planning that provides easy and fast on-screen WYSIWYG editing capabilities. It has a canvas area which displays the full image of the schedule being edited. The canvas contains a header area for text and a schedule area for plotting graphic representations of milestone objects in a flexible timeline. XOPPS is object-oriented, but it is unique in its capability for creating objects that have date attributes. Each object on the screen can be treated as a unit for moving, editing, etc. There is a mouse interface for simple control of pointer location. The user can position objects to pixel resolution, but objects with an associated date are positioned automatically in their correct timeline position in the schedule area. The schedule area has horizontal lines across the page with capabilities for multiple pages and for editing the number of lines per page and the line grid. The text on a line can be edited and a line can be moved with all objects on the line moving with it. The timeline display can be edited to plot any time period in a variety of formats from Fiscal year to Calendar Year and days to years. Text objects and image objects (rasterfiles and icons) can be created for placement anywhere on the page. Milestone event objects with a single associated date (and optional text and milestone symbol) and activity objects with start and end dates (and an optional completion date) have unique editing panels for entering data. A representation for schedule slips is also provided with the capability to automatically convert a milestone event to a slip. A milestone schedule on another computer can be saved to an ASCII file to be read by XOPPS. The program can print a schedule to a PostScript file. Dependencies between objects can also be displayed on the chart through the use of precedence lines. This program is not intended to replace a commercial scheduling/project management program. Because XOPPS has an ASCII file interface it can be used in conjunction with a project management tool to produce schedules with a quality appearance. XOPPS is written in C-language for Sun series Workstations running SunOS. This package requires MIT's X Window System, Version 11 Revision 4, with OSF/Motif 1.1. A sample executable is included. XOPPS requires 375K main memory and 1.5Mb free disk space for execution. The standard distribution medium is a .25 inch streaming magnetic tape cartridge in UNIX tar format. XOPPS was developed in 1992, based on the Sunview version of OPPS (NPO-18439) developed in 1990. It is a Copyrighted Work with all copyright vested in NASA.

  • COPYING BY LIBRARIES IN THE UNITED STATES : REVIEWING SECTION 108 OF THE US COPYRIGHT LAWS
    Fontes Artis Musicae, 2008
    Co-Authors: Jerry L Mcbride
    Abstract:

    English Abstract Section ([section]) 108 of Title 17 of the United States Code outlines the exceptions by which libraries and archives may make copies of Copyrighted materials without seeking permission of the copyright holders. The law was last revised in 1976 when the issue of photocopying in libraries was widely debated. Now that more materials are available digitally and copies can be distributed electronically, the Copyright Office at the Library of Congress established a group to study [section] 108 and to make recommendations to the US Congress on ways the law should be revised to protect the interests of copyright holders and accommodate the needs of libraries and archives. The article examines the issues that music libraries presented to the [section] 108 Study Group, so that librarians may use digital technologies to further research and to provide services to library patrons involving music within the boundaries of copyright law, and some of the conclusions reached by the Study Group. French Abstract L'article 108 du chapitre 17 du Code concernant le droit de reproduction aux Etats-Unis expose les exceptions dont beneficient les bibliotheques et archives, a savoir la possibilite de copier des documents soumis au droit d'auteur sans en demander la permission a leurs detenteurs. La derniere modification de cette loi date de 1976, a l'heure ou la question de la photocopie en bibliotheque etait largement debattue. Suite au developpement de la numerisation et des possibilites de diffusion electronique, le Copyright office de la Bibliotheque du Congres a mis en place un groupe de travail afin d'etudier l'article 108. Ce groupe de travail est force de recommandations aupres du congres legislatif afin de trouver moyen de modifier la loi en protegeant les interets des ayant droit, tout en s'accordant avec les besoins des bibliotheques et archives. Ce article examine les points importants presentes par les bibliotheques au groupe de travail sur l'article 108, en faveur des bibliothecaires, pour qu'ils puissent utiliser les technologies numeriques au service de la recherche et fournir au public des services lies a la musique en respectant la loi et le droit d'auteur. German Abstract Der Paragraph 108 des Artikel 17 des United States Code umreisst die Ausnahmen, nach denen Bibliotheken und Archive Kopien urheberrechtsgeschutzter Materialien machen durfen, ohne eine Genehmigung des Rechteinhabers einzuholen. Dieses Gesetz wurde zuletzt im Jahr 1976 novelliert, als man das Thema "Fotokopieren in Bibliotheken" breit diskutierte. Heutzutage sind weit mehr Materialien in elektronischer Form verfugbar und auch Kopien konnen elektronisch ubermittelt werden. Daher hat das Copyright Office der Library of Congress eine Arbeitsgruppe ins Leben gerufen, die sich mit dem Paragraphen 108 befasst. Fur den Kongress erarbeitet sie zu dessen erneuter Novellierung Vorschlage, die den Interessen der Rechteinhaber und den Bedurfnissen der Bibliotheken gerecht werden. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht die besondere Thematik, die Musikbibliotheken fur die Arbeitsgruppe zum Paragraphen 108 darstellen, damit gewahrleitstet werden kann, dass (Musik-)Bibliothekare die Digitaltechnologie im Rahmen der Urheberrechtsgesetze fur Ihre Dienstleistungen nutzen konnen. I. Introduction In the United States, the U.S. Code, Title 17, section ([section]) 106 grants the owner of a copyright the exclusive right: "(1) to reproduce the Copyrighted Work in copies or phonorecords; (2) to prepare derivative Works based upon the Copyrighted Work; (3) to distribute copies or phonorecords of the Copyrighted Work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending; (4) ... to perform the Copyrighted Work publicly; (5) ... to display the Copyrighted Work publicly; and (6) ... to perform the Copyrighted Work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission." (2) This exclusive right is subject to limitations outlined in [section]107-122. …

  • the effect of orphan Works on music libraries the 2005 u s copyright office roundtables
    Notes, 2006
    Co-Authors: Jerry L Mcbride
    Abstract:

    The United States Copyright Office defines "orphan Works" as: "a term used to describe the situation where the owner of a Copyrighted Work cannot be identified and located by someone who wishes to make use of the Work in a manner that requires permission of the copyright owner." (1) For example, consider this hypothetical situation. Suppose a publisher, Fosterage Music Co., wishes to publish a music anthology including an unjustly neglected song, "Das klagende Pflegekind" by Philip von Waisenhauser, first published in 1978 by Immigrant Musician & Stepsons, Unlimited, of Tucumcari, New Mexico. The original publication carries a copyright statement naming Mr. Von Waisenhauser as the rights holder. A letter to Immigrant Musician receives a response informing Fosterage Music that Mr. Von Waisenhauser moved to the United States from Germany in 1972 with his daughter, but he died in 1983. His daughter, the sole heir of his estate, was married in 1990 and moved to Tulsa for a few years. Then all mailings sent to her were returned due to no forwarding address, and there were no further communications from her. Fosterage Music has reached a dead end, so to speak. The Work is still under copyright, but all attempts to find the composer's daughter, and presumably the current copyright owner, are fruitless. Under current copyright law, "Das klagende Pflegekind" will not enter die public domain until 2053, seventy years after the death of Von Waisenhauser. Until then any subsequent uses of the song will need the permission of the Von Waisenhauser estate. Should the publisher include the Work in the anthology? Would the publisher be sued for copyright infringement or required to pay a licensing fee by the composer's daughter if she identifies herself after republication? Will this orphan Work simply languish unknown and unappreciated for decades? Why do situations like this exist? Over the years, the United States copyright laws have extended the length of copyright. In the first copyright act of 1790, copyright was registered for fourteen years and could be renewed for another fourteen. By the time of the 1909 act, these time periods were doubled to twenty-eight years each. Beginning with the 1976 act, copyright terms became much more complicated, and various term extensions were added in subsequent legislation, until today, when an individual's copyright (registered or not) extends until seventy years after the author's death. Also, the 1976 act no longer required registration with the copyright office or even evidence of copyright on the item. As long as the Work is original and "fixed in a tangible medium of expression," the creator immediately has copyright protection over the Work. Copyrights held by corporations enjoy copyright protection for 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever occurs first. (2) The increased term lengths, plus the instantaneous granting of copyright protection at the moment of creation, combine to create a large number of orphan Works, because it can be difficult to locate the heirs thirty, fifty, or more years after an author's death. The situation with corporations is no better given the number of mergers, acquisitions, and bankruptcies that can occur over a century. MLA'S STATEMENT OF INTEREST FOR THE ORPHAN WorkS ROUNDTABLES In January 2005, the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. Senate requested that the Copyright Office study and report on the issue of orphan Works. The first step in the study was a "Notice of Inquiry," by which the public was asked to submit written comments and replies to the Copyright Office. (3) The response was surprising--over 850 submissions were received. (4) Following the comment period, three days of roundtable discussions were conducted in Washington, DC (26-27 July 2005), and Berkeley, California (2 August 2005), to which the public applied to participate. In July 2005, the MLA Legislation Committee reviewed the comments and replies to the Copyright Office's Notice of Inquiry on orphan Works and requested to participate in the roundtable discussion to be held on 2 August 2005 in Berkeley. …
