Re: Bullet chatting interchange format was: W3C M&E IG conference call: 7th January 2020

Pierre, all,

I agree that it is important to consider Pierre's question below.

I would also ask an additional related question: is there a requirement for a common interchange format for bullet chats that works interoperably across multiple applications?

Kind regards,

Nigel

    Dear all,
    
    Per our call on Tuesday and looking at the bullet chatting use cases
    at [1], below are follow-up questions/observations.
    
    With the exception of perhaps the "Interactive wall" use case, the use
    cases seem to involve a web application (provided by the service
    provider) running in a user agent (web browser).
    
    Is that accurate?
    
    For use cases that involve a web application running in a user agent,
    it is not evident that an interchange format such as TTML or WebVTT is
    necessary: the web application can simply interact directly with the
    user agent using CSS, DOM, etc. to display the bullet chat -- without
    the need for an intermediary interchange format.
    
    What are the use cases that do not involve web application (provided
    by the service provider) running in a user agent?
    
    Documenting all use cases is critical to help select the right
    technical solution for the interchange format and/or API. For example,
    do some use cases involve players that do not have access to the web
    platform?
    
    Best,
