Hi all, The W3C WG for media fragments has published a Last Call Working Draft at http://www.w3.org/TR/media-frags/ . The idea of the spec is to enable addressing sub-parts of audio-visual resources through URIs, such as http://example.com/video.ogv?t=10,40 to address seconds 10-40 out of video.ogv. This is relevant for use in the <audio> and <video> elements and can help focus the playback to a specific subpart - something that will help towards satisfying our "Content Navigation" requirement (http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Accessibility_Requirements#Content_Navigation_by_Content_Structure) . This specification will provide "deep linking" as a standard specification for media resources. Incidentally, such functionality is also available at YouTube, see http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=116618 . "The Working Group encourages feedback about this document by developers and researchers who have interest in multimedia content addressing and retrieval on the web and by developers and researchers who have interest in Semantic Web technologies for content description and annotation. Please send comments about this document to public-media-fragment@w3.org mailing list (public archive) by 27 August 2010." Thought you should know. Cheers, Silvia.
