You can think of Numly Numbers as next generation ISBN numbers. Rather than assigning an ISBN to your digital work where each copy has the same ISBN number, try assigning a Numly Number to each copy of your digital work sold or distributed. This will give you tracking capabilities of your works and licenses as well as a vehicle for allowing your customers to trade or sell their copies of works through a digital community.
Numly's Docly.com service provides this type of numeration service for self-publishers automatically. Each published work submitted through Docly is automatically assigned a Numly Number. Every digital work that is purchased also automatically generates another unique Numly Number with the licensee information associated with the Docly account that purchased the copy of digital work. Cool huh?
Numly APIs are available that allow third-party applications to request Numly Numbers dynamically. This means that as the customer requests a download of a digital work a Numly Number can be request and assigned to the customer and embedded in the digital work for tracking purposes. This could be conceived as Good DRM.
