The MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework enables transparent and augmented use of multimedia resources across a wide range of networks, devices, user preferences, and communities, notably for trading (of bits).
Vision, Strategy, and Tools
The aim of the MPEG-21 [1–24] standard (ISO/IEC 21000), the so-called Multimedia Framework, is to enable transparent and augmented use of multimedia resources across a wide range of networks, devices, user preferences, and communities, notably for trading (of bits). As such, it represents a new step in MPEG’s standards evolution, namely to support the transaction of Digital Items among Users.
A Digital Itemis a structured digital object with a standard representation and metadata. As such, it is the fundamental unit of transaction and distribution within the MPEG-21 multimedia framework. In order words, it aggregates multimedia resources together with metadata, licenses, identifiers, intellectual...
