    ____________________M____________________ MPEG-21 DIGITAL ITEM ADAPTATION Christian Timmerera, Anthony Vetrob, and Hermann Hellwagnera aDepartment of Information Technology, Klagenfurt University, Austria bMitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), USA Synonym: Overview of Part 7 of the MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework; Interoperable description formats facilitating the adaptation of multimedia content; ISO standard enabling device and coding format independence; ISO/IEC 21000-7:2007 Definition: MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation (DIA) enables interoperable access to (distributed) advanced multimedia content by shielding users from network and terminal installation, management, and implementation issues. Context and Objectives Universal Multimedia Access (UMA) [1] refers to the ability to seamlessly access multimedia content from anywhere, anytime, and with any device. Due to the heterogeneity of terminals and networks and the existence of various coding formats, the adaptation of the multimedia content may be required in order to suit the needs and requirements of the consuming user and his/her environment. For enabling interoperability among different vendors, Part 7 of the MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework [2], referred to as Digital Item Adaptation (DIA) [3], specifies description formats (also known as tools) to assist with the adaptation of Digital Items. Digital Items are defined as structured digital objects, including standard representation, identification and metadata, and are the fundamental units of distribution and transaction

  • Digital Item Processing
    Digital Item Processing Rui Filipe Santos Rocha [email protected] Supervisors: Maria Teresa Andrade (DEEC, FEUP) Pedro Carvalho (INESC) January 2008 Abstract Abstract MPEG‐21 is a standard still under specification, which aims to establish a platform capable of distributing multimedia content enabling access and consumption in a flexible and interoperable way, protecting owner’s rights. This dissertation will have as main objective, implement Digital Item Processing (which is Part 10 of MPEG‐21 standard) in a way that a client application, which is an application developed to allow a user to interact with MPEG‐21 multimedia contents, won’t need to process the basic operation (e.g. play, execute, and others) defined by the standard. After the implementation this will be integrated in an existing application to be validated viewing Digital Items and running associated operations. Digital Item Processing 1 Resumo Resumo O MPEG‐21 que é uma norma emergente ainda em fase de normalização, que pretende definir uma plataforma capaz de distribuir conteúdos multimédia de forma a poderem ser acedidos e consumidos de forma flexível e interoperável protegendo os direitos de autor. Esta dissertação terá como principal objectivo, implementar Digital Item Processing (que corresponde a Parte 10 da norma MPEG‐21) de maneira a que a aplicação cliente, que é uma aplicação desenvolvida para permitir a um utilizador interagir com conteúdos multimédia baseados na norma MPEG‐21, processe o menor número possível de operações básicas (p.ex. Play, execute, entre outras) definidas pela norma. Após a implementação integrar‐se‐á numa aplicação de forma a validar a implementação consumindo Digital Items e correndo operações associadas aos mesmos.

In this paper, we present a prototype application that receives Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) TV streams on a PC, transcodes the streams on the fly according to the individual User requirements and packs the adapted content together with available metadata into a standard compliant MPEG-21 Digital Item (DI). In this form, the framework enables the live Universal Multimedia Access (UMA) scenario where the DVB content can be transparently accessed by clients such as PCs and PDAs, anytime and anywhere.

    MPEG-21 Content Introduction Multimedia framework Seven elements of Mpeg-21 * Digital Item Declaration * Digital Item Identification * Content Handling and Usage * Intellectual Property Management and Protection * Terminals and Networks * Content Representation Introduction The aim for MPEG-21 many elements exist to build an infrastructure for the delivery and consumption of multimedia content. The aim for MPEG-21 is to describe how these various elements fit together. MPEG-21 will recommend which new standards are required.( ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11 (MPEG) ) MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework ISO/IEC 21000 Situation: No complete solutions exist that allow different communities (content, financial, communications etc.), each with their own models, rules, procedures and content formats to interact efficiently. The multimedia content delivery chain encompasses different “players” (content creation, production, delivery etc.). To support this, the content has to be identified, described, managed and protected. Purpose: MPEG-21 MM-Framework shall enable interoperability in this situation. What is Mpeg-21 An open Framework for multimedia delivery and consumption Vision: Integration of the critical technologies enabling transparent and augmented use of multimedia resources across a wide range of networks and devices to support functions such as: content creation, content production, content distribution, content consumption and usage, content packaging, intellectual property management and protection, content identification and description, financial management, user privacy, terminals and network resource abstraction, content representation and event reporting Multimedia Framework The multimedia content delivery chain: * Content Creation * Production * Delivery * Consumption. The content has to be identified, described, managed and protected. The delivery require reporting include reliable delivery, the management of personal data and preferences taking user privacy into account and the management of (financial) transactions.

    418 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MULTIMEDIA, VOL. 7, NO. 3, JUNE 2005 Digital Item Adaptation: Overview of Standardization and Research Activities Anthony Vetro, Senior Member, IEEE, and Christian Timmerer Abstract—MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation (DIA) has recently been finalized as part of the MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework. DIA specifies metadata for assisting the adaptation of Digital Items according to constraints on the storage, transmission and consumption, thereby enabling various types of quality of service management. This paper provides an overview of DIA, describes its use in multimedia applications, and reports on some of the ongoing activities in MPEG on extending DIA for use in rights governed environments. Index Terms—Adaptation, Digital Item, MPEG, multimedia, quality of service, universal multimedia access. I. INTRODUCTION Fig. 1. Concept of MPEG-21 DIA.

This article describes and analyses this phenomenon and the role of MPEG-21 may play in it. MPEG-21 is the ISO/IEC standard currently under development in MPEG (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11). Unlike preceding MPEG standards - MPEG-21 does not specify a coding format of the content but rather a set of standards to ease transactions of multimedia content and the provision of digital multimedia services in heterogeneous network environments, including broadcast. In this paper, we highlight the role of MPEG-21 in broadcasting, in particular in the deployment of digital TV services. 1 INTRODUCTION functionality and will have a major impact on the viewing behaviour of consumers.
