DDEX now plays a critical role in the development of the digital music value chain as more and more companies recognise the vital importance of standardisation. The number of DDEX members has increased significantly and now stands at over 140 with new companies joining almost every month.<\/p>\n

The focus of DDEX\u2019s work is also changing in that DDEX is now looking at all aspects of standardisation within the digital music value chain as well as continuing to develop standard format messages. DDEX also carries out regular discussions with organisations that have or are developing standards of relevance to the digital music value chain, as well as those developing standards for other media industries. All these discussions are about identifying how the community as a whole can work to improve the operation and interoperability of these standards with the goal of automating as much of the value chain as possible. Also in this context, DDEX has been making tentative strides towards finding ways of improving the overall quality of the metadata itself as it moves around the whole value chain. This activity is very much in its early stages but is seen as critical in the longer term.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#ededed” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1544556477749{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;background-color: #ededed !important;}”][mk_imagebox per_view=”3″ animation_speed=”200″ slideshow_speed=”3000″][mk_imagebox_item item_image=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/about-ddex.jpg” image_padding=”false” title_font_weight=”400″ btn_text=”About” btn_url=”\/about-ddex\/” btn_background_color=”#043a6c” btn_text_color=”#ffffff” btn_hover_background_color=”#002659″ el_class=”button-slide”][\/mk_imagebox_item][mk_imagebox_item item_image=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/ddex-governance.jpg” image_padding=”false” title_font_weight=”400″ btn_text=”Governance” btn_url=”\/about-ddex\/governance\/” btn_background_color=”#ec008c” btn_text_color=”#ffffff” btn_hover_background_color=”#e50089″ el_class=”button-slide”][\/mk_imagebox_item][mk_imagebox_item item_image=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/ddex-process.jpg” image_padding=”false” title_font_weight=”400″ btn_text=”Process” btn_url=”\/process\/” btn_background_color=”#56a0d3″ btn_text_color=”#ffffff” btn_hover_background_color=”#3b78bf” el_class=”button-slide”][\/mk_imagebox_item][mk_imagebox_item item_image=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/ddex-benefits.jpg” image_padding=”false” title_font_weight=”400″ btn_text=”Benefits” btn_url=”\/about-ddex\/benefits\/” btn_background_color=”#a7be39″ btn_text_color=”#ffffff” btn_hover_background_color=”#9fb536″ el_class=”button-slide”][\/mk_imagebox_item][\/mk_imagebox][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/arrows-footer.png” bg_image_portrait=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/arrows-footer.png” bg_color=”#003a6f” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” padding_top=”60″ padding_bottom=”0″ top_shape_color=”#ffffff” bottom_shape_color=”#ffffff” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_fancy_title tag_name=”h3″ color=”#ffffff” size=”24″ font_weight=”bold” margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”none” responsive_align=”left”]\n
