Welcome
Thank you for visiting the Global Repertoire Database Website
The scope of the GRD is to provide, for the first time, a single, comprehensive and authoritative representation of the global ownership and control of musical works.
Once deployed the GRD would save extensive costs currently lost to duplication in data processing.
These back-office savings might ultimately be re-invested in frontline services to increase the licensed usage of music, benefiting creators and rights-holders. The GRD would also reduce data management, working capital costs and aims to lower the administrative barriers to businesses seeking to distribute content online and ensure that creators of music are quickly and efficiently compensated for their work.
The organisations listed below are responsible for driving the project forward – together they form the GRD Working Group that governs the project:
- Publishers
- EMI Music Publishing
- Universal Music Publishing
- Societies
- PRS for Music
- SACEM
- STIM
- Music Service Providers
- iTunes
- Omnifone
- Associations
- CISAC
- ECSA
- ICMP
