Re: tvapi-ACTION-27: Work on triggered interactive overlay requirements

Hi,

I have couple more questions about the following items in the requirements
[1].

 [trigger.data.supplemental] The API SHALL be able to provide the webapps
with supplemental information supporting triggered events as long as those
supplemental information is available either in-band or out-band
 [trigger.data.content-source] The API SHALL be able to provide the webapps
with the content source information to be overlayed on top of current
channel content

These data appear dependent to broadcasting standards and may vary in
different regions. Do we have any example or information about how the data
would look like? Otherwise, if we need to spare some attributes in the API
for them, we may just leave them in some general types, like object or any
or ArrayBuffer.

Thoughts?!

Thanks,
Sean
