   Glenn did a role call by region

   <azamlerc> Hi folks. Andrew Zamler-Carhat, Cisco France

   <ldaigle> glenn

   <ldaigle> your audio is busted

   Glenn had to hang up and call back in to fix audio

   <azamlerc> Andrew Zamler-Carhart, Cisco France

   Bill Rose is acting as scribe

   <ldaigle> Leslie Daigle is here on the east coast

   Glenn called for the approval of last meeting minutes - there
   were approved without change

   Use Cases discussion

   <JP> link again?

   Glenn called for everyone to pull up the link to the Use Cases
   for discussion. It includes a template.

   Glenn asked for everyone to review and comment on the Contents,
   terminology, etc.

   Glenn will assign the identifiers and keep them unique and
   orderly

   Glenn populated the WiKi with 3 Use Cases to start the
   discussion

   Glenn discussed the first Use Case - UC-1 Basic Steamed Content
   Viewing

   Glenn - trivial UC. It does not discuss how it is done,
   buffering, etc. Not real world. Mainly identifies the actors as
   an exercise in writing a UC.

   Glenn - UC-2 Streamed Content Viewing. This is a bit more
   realistic.

   Glenn - instead of a single URL a manifest is returned by the
   source to the app listing multiple sources

   Glenn - app (sender) is in control instead of the receiver. App
   can control flow rate, buffers, fill rate, bit rates, etc. for
   optimization

   Nilo - Is this to describe adaptive streaming?

   Glenn - yes, one of the things introduced is adaptive
   streaming. Are there changes needed to the UC?

   Nilo - can be read in several ways - same content is stored in
   multiple locations yet it appears to imply the files may have
   different representations.

   Glenn - thinking was that so much work has been done on ABR
   (e.g. DADH) that we don't need to go into those details. More
   for exposing actors and concepts. Would it be helpful to
   introduce more?

   Correction - DASH, not DADH

   Glenn - will add more on what could be in the manifest to
   clarify

   Glenn - UC-3 Identifying Streamed Content

   <JP_Intel> Sorry, can someone indicate where these UCs can be
   retrieved?

   Glenn - builds on UC-2 but adds viewer interactions. Viewer
   selects an asset from the list sent by sender and send request
   for specific content

   <NiloM> [7]http://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/GGIE_TF/UseCases

      [7] http://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/GGIE_TF/UseCases

   Glenn - key point is to obtain an identifier

   <JP_Intel> Thank you

   Glenn - identifier describes what is being played but not
   format, resolution, etc. Different versions will have different
   identifiers e.g. EIDR but no other information about the file.

   Glenn - If 2 identifiers are equal, then the content is equal
   in terms of sequence of frames, frames included, etc. but no
   info on format properties.

   Question - what might the differences be between 2 "equal" IDs?

   Glenn - 2 copies of a Directors cut of a movie may be equal but
   in different resolutions - SD/HD. Based on how EIDR works today

   Glenn - different compression could be used.

   Nilo - In example of 2 Directors Cut versions, are you saying
   SD/HD may have same EIDR?

   Glenn - It may have same ID but does not have to. Depends on
   what is registered with EIDR. Arranging to have someone from
   EIDR to talk to this group and answer questions. Posted link to
   EIDR for the group.

   Andrew - Useful to look at EIDR as a starting point but not the
   only one to look at. Is is a flat or hierarchical? Does not
   seem to include enough info.

   Glenn - their view is not hierachical in that it does not
   include e.g. geo info. Issue a new EIDR for different versions.
   But they maintain additional info for each EIDR registered that
   can be accessed.

   Glenn - long ID has more information such as registrant name
   but much of the info is not included in the ID.

   Glenn - described 3 ways to extract unique ID - from metadata;
   from imbedded watermark (audio or video); or from fingerprint

   Glenn - 2 things to do with extracted ID - record/report for
   measurement/logging; Form a URI to be used with other video
   content sources to uniquely identify the content being viewed

   Glenn - URI can be used to locate additional caches of the
   content to improve viewing experience

   Glenn - today there is no univeral standard way to ID content,
   use fingerprint to ID, create URI based on an ID, etc.

   <mark_vickers> EIDR example (click on "Relationships" tab to
   see hierarchy):
   [8]https://ui.eidr.org/view/content?id=10.5240/6933-25C9-299D-6
   71A-24FB-V

      [8] https://ui.eidr.org/view/content?id=10.5240/6933-25C9-299D-671A-24FB-V

   Glenn - Action Item; Create new UC where extraction is the
   first step

   Action Item- ? List metadata included in the watermark by
   creator at creation and added downstream by the work flow

   <trackbot> Error finding 'Item-'. You can review and register
   nicknames at <[9]http://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/track/users>.

      [9] http://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/track/users

   Glenn - We will need to capture how to identify whether a cache
   has the entire file versus portions of the file at e.g. a CDN?
   Is anyone willing to take this UC as an action item/

   Question - From user perspective I search and get back a set of
   URIs for the content which can be used to obtain the content,
   switch to a new URL if there is an interuption, etc.

   Glenn - Yes this is one of the goals of GGIE. The metadata can
   be used to resolve information associated with content for use
   throughout the workflow, user, delivery, etc. Current CDNs have
   a basket of "tricks" to aid in the delivery of the content. But
   they have very little info from the client.

   Glenn - part of the idea here is to discuss information that
   the client could contribute to improve CDN performance.

   <JP_Intel> Sorry, Glenn, but I need to drop now due to a
   conflcit. Will discuss offline by e-mail about introducing what
   you need for Content Identifier extraction.

   Leslie - Glenn is describing how best to find the optimum
   version for delivery to the client/user. But I think I heard
   Nilo ask how does a user find the "Directors Cut" itself?

   Nilo - seems there are several levels of resolution required -
   "I want a copy of the Directors Cut"; Second level of
   resolution includes optimizing locating the optimal flow from
   cache to client.

   Glenn - so user experience is search/discovery - not network
   layer. What is available to watch?

   ? - Also what is available from your service(s)/provider(s)
   versus what is available in general.

   Glenn - yes. Could also include other formats, languages, etc.,
   which may be aviable on a different service on a different
   device.

   Andrew - - Yes - same content might also be available from
   multiple providers I have access to. Would like to see all and
   choose myself.

   Glenn - Anyone willing to write a rough flow of several of
   these concepts. Nilo, Andrew?

   Nilo, Andrew - yes.

   Nilo - already available using e.g. Google.

   Nilo - I thought this is what GGIE is focused on.

   Andrew - more technical people may be capable of using Google
   but many are not.

   Glenn - The stuff from Google contains what they have
   discovered and put into results they think you want to see.
   Different from accurate/complete results tailored to the user's
   actual services, clients, etc. GGIE can contribute to this area
   of a user centric focus.

   Glenn - about all content including user content, not just
   commercial content

   Andrew - not describing world today, but what it could be

   Glenn will try to populate additional UCs. Anyone can contact
   him to add to the UCs.

   Glenn - next meeting: March 11, 11:00 AM ET.
