Contained in this standard are descriptions of the IEEE Internet of Rights (IOR) standards published by IEEE for decentralized collaboration framework based on rights, as well as a reference model (RM) for logical service standards.

This standard specifies the Internet of Rights (IOR) for decentralized collaboration framework based on rights as well as a reference model (RM). This standard defines general terms, concepts, and interfaces, as well as basic system functions for sub-frameworks that constitute IOR. This standard specifies decentralized roles, decentralized permissions associated with roles, decentralized certificates, decentralized reputations, and supporting infrastructure.

This standard serves as the foundation for the family of Internet of Rights (IOR) standards. The purpose of this standard is to provide a common language for describing, analyzing, and discussing the governance of right-based decentralized collaborations.
