Since their introduction in 2010, EIDR IDs have become a critical part of the Entertainment Industry’s infrastructure. Initially used primarily by the major studios and large digital distribution platforms, the increasing ubiquity of the identifiers has made possible a number of services that would have been too complex, unwieldy, or expensive before.
Revenue, Distribution and Royalty Analytics
Because the hierarchically-related entities defined by EIDR properly reflects those of the industry and its distribution and licensing practices, audience and royalty reporting can be done precisely and consistently using each asset’s EIDR ID. For example, by knowing the EIDR ID of a regionalized television episode edit, the correct abstract episode, season, and series records may be accurately inferred. Identification of assets using this ID makes possible analytics that roll up all versions (and translations, and edits) of a title, and allows drilling down to any level. This allows virtually complete automation of revenue, royalties, and audience measurement analytics, with a precision and specificity not previously possible.
Distribution Platforms
Build your own layouts
An increasing number of digital distributors now require an EIDR ID to enter their infrastructure (i.e. to sell or stream a movie through that platform). By pre-registering your content, you can assure that all distributors are referring to your product with the same identifier, world-wide. This makes life easier for everyone, as you do audience or revenue analysis: your content is precisely identified, and always exactly the same way.

Metadata Management
Because of the way that EIDR is structured and operated, the creator of an EIDR record mantains the right to manage and update the record into the future. Other parties that may wish to add or correct metadata in an EIDR record must work through the original registrant, or via the EIDR or Title Registrar help desks. This is true even if an EIDR record refers to a work that you distribute or control. If a downstream partner or a distributor obtains an EIDR ID for your work, and the metadata in that EIDR record is incorrect or incomplete, you may not update that record yourself: you work with the original registrant, or EIDR itself, to correct data issues. By obtaining an EIDR ID for a work yourself, and early in that work’s life cycle, you are able to directly manage that record and the data contained within it for its lifetime. This can help guarantee that the identifying metadata is accurate, complete, and adequate to differentiate it from variant or related works.
