8、ta for IPTV services Summary Recommendation ITU-T H.750 gives the high-level specification of the metadata for IPTV services, with its elements and delivery protocols. IPTV metadata, the information on services and content processed by the service and content delivery infrastructure, provides a desc

9、riptive and structural framework for managing IPTV services. The types of metadata for IPTV are service and content metadata, user metadata, metadata for content provisioning and management, metadata aggregation management, and rights and security related metadata. Aspects of discovery, delivery and

10、 transport, representation and management of metadata are covered in this Recommendation. Source Recommendation ITU-T H.750 was approved on 14 October 2008 by ITU-T Study Group 16 (2005-2008) under Recommendation ITU-T A.8 procedure. ii Rec. ITU-T H.750 (10/2008) FOREWORD The International Telecommu

11、nication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff

12、 questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommend

13、ations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendat

14、ion, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability

15、or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that complianc

16、e with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or

17、applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to

18、implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

46、re 6-1 illustrates metadata flows between metadata sources and client side metadata applications, including user navigation methods and interactive programme guides. Figure 6-1 IPTV metadata service overview The metadata server is the entity responsible for aggregating metadata sets produced by cont

47、ent providers or service providers to describe services and content, as well as metadata sets generated or registered by metadata clients to describe end-user preference or context. These metadata sets are maintained in the database managed by the metadata server. The metadata maintained in the meta

48、data servers database is accessed by, delivered to, or contributed from metadata clients through metadata delivery and exchange protocols. These clients are typically categorized as web-based navigation servers maintained by the service provider or client-side applications running on the IPTV client

49、. Metadata directly consumed by a client-side metadata application is used for providing the network-transparent user interface for navigation, for example, a content overview listing integrated with local content storage management. The metadata server also stores and manages end-user profiles or context metadata required to support content or service adaptation. 6.3 Metadata representation Most metadata instances which are generated according to industry standards and are compliant to
