5.1 Introduction
The message protocols by which a message sender actually communicates an individual message created in accordance with this part of the RDR standard to a message recipient are defined in Part 1 of the RDR standard (RDR-C).
Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the choreography for the messages defined in this part of the RDR standard that enable the communication of data about revenue. The choreography defined in these figures is the same whether using the RevenueReport message or the RevenueDetails message on its own or in combination with the RevenueSummary message. Figure 1 shows the choreography of the messages when only a music licensing company and a rights controller or administrator is involved in the communication.

Figure 2 shows the choreography of the messages when more than one music licensing company is involved either for the exchange of revenue data in respect of international mandate claims, or when more than one music licensing company or administrator has the mandate to claim in the same territory requiring one music licensing company to communicate such revenue data to a second music licensing company being it is communicated to the relevant rights controllers or administrator.
