All,
The Media Fragment WG is working on... defining how to identify and server
media fragments, the primary use case is of course video, but it is not
limited to it [1]. There is a aso a clear relation to the TAG WD "Usage
Patterns For Client-Side URI parameters" [2], as hash parameters are used
to generate range requests to send back to the clients only the desired
sub-part of the resource representation.
There are different axis defined, the most obvious and easy to handle is
the time axis for video and audio, as in most cases the sub-part
extraction can be done in the compressed domain.
The geometrical axis (like asking for a clipped version of a picture or a
video) is the origin of this email, as the WG did not reach a conclusion
on "Is it legal to do transcoding when serving a fragment".
ie: the World Map is defined by http://www.example.com/earthmap.jpg and is
a 10000x10000 picture.
Small country M is defined by the following URI:
http://www.example.com/earthmap.jpg#xywh=pixel:5160,5120,32,24
Suppose that we have a way to construct a ranged request out of that,
serving only that 32x34 jpg file requires transcoding, while being served
as a partial response.
Input needed :)
Thanks,
