What is the difference between ISCC and ACR software?
The ISCC makes use of technologies related to ACR (automatic content recognition technologies) to come up with a new short and generic standard identifier for digital content – but ISCC is not an ACR. The following table provides a comparison between the ISCC system and ACR technology.
| ISCC | ACR |
|---|---|
An open identifier standard proposal | Based on proprietary software |
Creates a short identifier string, generated by a combination of multiple fingerprints and cryptographic hashing algorithms | Not an identifier but a content identification system, working with large and granular fingerprints and special indexing systems |
Can be generated by anyone with access to content for all media types and formats | Often optimised for specific media types |
Has near duplicate content-matching capabilities (lightweight fingerprints) | Developed for content matching, can analyse and compare assets and small chunks in great detail |
Can be easily implemented in existing applications, which ensures interoperability across entities | Detailed fingerprints not interoperable |
