RE: New User Discovery Use Case

Hi JP

 

Thanks for the new info. What capabilities does it have for client related
information - decoders, resolution, buffering, etc.? 

 

Also, how different is CEA 2033 - OpenEPG from TV Anytime and DVB-SI? I see
DLNA supports both as well as DVB-SI. Can they map somehow? 

 

Finally, who (what) supports TV Anytime? i.e. how widely supported is it by
TVs, STBs, browsers, etc., in the US, EU, Japan?

Hi Bill,

 

It is interesting to not that you actually skipped the key part of
TVA-Anytime, i.e. part 3 that contains the schema :--)

 

In Part 3-1, you'll find a user description split into user preferences
(profile, search and browsing preferences) and usage history (how content
has been consumed - actions, etc.). In 3-3 you find more metadata such as on
accessibility.

 

In part 3-1, you'll find information about the programme: editorial
metadata, purchase conditions, etc.

 

In part 3-3 and part 3-4  you find more information on advertising,
interstitial, coupons, etc. You also have more information about rights.

 

CRID is a unique identifier - quite ahead of its time as it came before ISAN
and EIDR, which both can be used in creating CRIDs (defined in an RFC too)
which make them further unique within a content provider namespace (e.g. in
a particular application domain).

CRIDs can be used to store information about content. An interesting
scenario is that you see an announcement about a programme either in an EPG
or watching a trailer. According to the application at hand (red button or
just hyperlink) you select this content and decide "record when available"
or "advise when available on replay", etc. All is managed through the
smaller piece of information that an unique identifier is. 

The question of authority is therefore solved by:

-          Using uniquely attributed IDs from ISAN/EIDR

-          Manage you own unique IDs as content provider within your
namespace using the RFC CRID structure (reusing ISAN/EIDR or not)  

 

 

For more on TVA:  https://tech.ebu.ch/tvanytime and you can download the
latest version of the specification there. We have started a new maintenance
phase for ETSI at the request of the industry and we'll deal further with
social media, etc.

 

I actually have to start my TVA webex. now!

 

See you soon.

 

Best regards,

Jean-Pierre

Thanks JP (I think - I spent much of today reading/scanning through the TVA
documents, in particular parts 1, 2, and 4 with a quick look at parts 5, 8
and 9). I was aware of TVAnytime but not the details. You are right, a lot
of information and examples are there. I didn't see anything on having the
client criteria as being part of the user's search criteria although that
might be implicit in the user search criteria. If I understand it correctly
the user inputs their search criteria which is received by a service that
returns CRID(s) that meet the criteria. The client criteria, if included,
would further narrow what is returned and might be useful in narrowing
location resolution. I also see cost data can be requested/returned for the
various content CRIDs. 

 

I noticed that there is no authority to assign CRIDs and I didn't see how
that would be done. Probably in another document. However, it appears a
given CRID may be reusable (may have an expirataion date) which would be a
problem if it is added as a watermark or fingerprint to content which are
fixed for all time once added. Thus any CRID used to watermark would have to
be permenent (no expiration). While that appears to be an option, I am not
sure if it is possible to ensure there is no possibility of duplication and
if, without an authority, the CRID approach would be able to accommodate the
large number of content IDs required for what GGIE envisions. Feel free to
comment on my observations and TVA's applicablility to what GGIE is doing. 

 

Any comments on the UC I posted? And do you have any User Discovery UCs you
want to post? 

 

Thanks for the reference.

 

Bill

Hello Bill,

 

Thanks,

 

Do you know the TV-Anytime specification ?

 

I contains a lot about user description, user modes of content consumption,
content description, all in order to facilitate search and recommendations.

 

In addition to this, all TVA mechanisms for describing broadcast and
on-demand publication events and associated services have been introduced in
an earlier version od schema.org.

 

The TVA data model is also actually RDF ready.

 

If you need more information.

 

Best regards,

 

Jean-Pierre

Resending - My appologies if you get 2 copies of this. I had not set my
permissions to post W3C message archives. - Bill 

 

I posted a Use Case for GGIE User Discovery at
https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/GGIE_TF/UseCases/User_Discovery to get
the discussion started on this subject. Its an extension to Streaming UC-1b
adding client information to the search criteria. As I am new to this feel
free to edit, comment, make suggestions - including that it does not belong
here, or whatever. Also, feel free to post new User Discovery Use Cases or
discussion topics.
