What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for providing database content usage, said method comprising: said database content being a digital work having one or more rights associated therewith within a system having at least one end-user repository configured to enforce use of said content in accordance with said one or more rights; electronically associating a usage right with database content, said usage right specifying rights including a permitted manner of use for the usage of database content and respective usage fees for exercise of the rights, wherein the rights for use of database content include at least one of a view right, a search right, a print right, a play right, a copy right, an extract right and an embed right, and the rights further specify a respective player for exercising a respective of the rights; providing said database content in accordance with said usage right; enforcing the rights for use of database content by the at least one end-user repository based on the usage right, with the database content being accessed via another repository, wherein the usage right is created from a grammar, including one or more symbols selected from a set of predetermined symbols to define a valid sequence of symbols to indicate the permitted manner of use; and reporting said usage fees as a transaction, wherein said usage fee comprises respective fees for at least one of said view right, said search right, said print right, said play right, said copy right, said extract right and said embed right, for using said database content on said end-user repository comprising at least one of a computer of an information service and a device of a user. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said usage right is a search right and said usage fee is a fee for obtaining said database content as a search result. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said usage right is a print right and said usage fee is a print fee for printing of said database content. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said usage right is a play right with said database content and said usage fee is for playing said database content. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said usage right is a copy right with said database content and said usage fee is for copying said database content. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: specifying employing a digital certificate held locally at an information service providing said database content for using said database content on a computer of said information service. 7. The method of claim 4, further comprising: specifying said respective player in said play right for searching and viewing said database content. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising: maintaining a specification of said respective player on a computer of an information service providing said database content and on a computer of a user. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said usage right is an extract right specifying that said database content can be extracted by a user from a search result provided by an information service. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said usage right is an embed right specifying that the extracted database content can be embedded in a digital work created by said user. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising: extracting at least a portion of said database content from a search result provided by said information service to a user; embedding said extracted portion of said database file in a digital work created by said user; distributing a copy of said digital work to a consumer; and wherein said reporting step comprises reporting a copy fee and a search fee for a transaction. 12.

The method of claim 1, wherein said method is implemented with one or more computer readable instructions embedded on a computer readable medium and configured to cause one or more computer processors to perform the steps of the method. 16. A computer-implemented system for providing database content usage, said system comprising: said database content being a digital work having one or more rights associated therewith within a system having at least one end-user repository configured to enforce use of said content in accordance with said one or more rights; means for electronically associating a usage right with database content, said usage right specifying rights including a permitted manner of use for the usage of database content and respective usage fees for exercise of the rights, wherein the rights for use of database content include at least one of a view right, a search right, a print right, a play right, a copy right, an extract right and an embed right, and the rights further specify a respective player for exercising a respective of the rights; means for providing said database content in accordance with said usage right; means for enforcing the rights for use of database content by the at least one end-user repository based on the usage right, with the database content being accessed via another repository, wherein the usage right is created from a grammar, including one or more symbols selected from a set of predetermined symbols to define a valid sequence of symbols to indicate the permitted manner of use; and means for reporting said usage fees as a transaction, wherein said usage fee comprises respective fees for at least one of said view right, said search right, said print right, said play right, said copy right, said extract right and said embed right, for using said database content on said end-user repository comprising at least one. of a computer of an information service and a device of a user. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein said usage right is a search right and said usage fee is a fee for obtaining said database content as a search result. 18. The system of claim 16, wherein said usage right is a print right and said usage fee is a print fee for printing of said database content. 19. The system of claim 16, wherein said usage right is a play right with said database content and said usage fee is for playing said database content. 20. The system of claim 16, wherein said usage right is a copy right with said database content and said usage fee is for copying said database content. 21. The system of claim 16, further comprising: means for specifying employing a digital certificate held locally at an information service providing said database content for using said database content on a computer of said information service. 22. The system of claim 19, further comprising: means for specifying said respective player in said play right for searching and viewing said database content. 23. The system of claim 22, further comprising: means for maintaining a specification of said respective player on a computer of an information service providing said database content and on a computer of a user. 24. The system of claim 16, wherein said usage right is an extract right specifying that said database content can be extracted by a user from a search result provided by an information service. 25. The system of claim 24, wherein said usage right is an embed right specifying that the extracted database content can be embedded in a digital work created by said user. 26. The system of claim 25, further comprising: means for extracting at least a portion of said database content from a search result provided by said information service to a user; means for embedding said extracted portion of said database file in a digital work created by said user; means for distributing a copy of said digital work to a consumer; and wherein said means for reporting comprises means for reporting a copy fee and a search fee for a transaction. 27. The system of claim 16, wherein said another repository comprises another end-user repository. 28.
