Copyright database to improve transparency

Investors who struggle to asses the value of cultural relics or contemporary art works may soon be able to use an online tool to help.

Fu Xiaoliang, board chairman of Shenzhen International Copyright Exchange, is creating a database to provide easy access to detailed copyright transaction information and records.

"We will collect the transaction records of more than 100 famous cultural works at the beginning stage, and expand to cover more step by step," Fu told China Daily.
