Media Value Chain Ontology

This topic has been discussed within MPEG for several meetings. It is now time to clarify a time line for standardization. Therefore, it was decided to prepare a requirements document and a Call for Proposals until the next meeting. At the next meeting, the decision on the documents will determine whether MPEG is going forward with this activity.

Input documents:

m15031 Ad Hoc Group on Requirements of Media Value Chains Ontologies
m15092 A Common Core IP Model

4. Future Work Items

A review of the work areas of MPEG was started. Currently, MPEG focuses on the consumer market. Professional profiles of MPEG are provided such that consumer content can be produced efficiently. The standards define only the decoder, they do not define rendering. MPEG does not require or profile the use of error resilience features since the transport channel is assumed transparent.
In order to widen the usage of MPEG standards, MPEG members are requested to bring proposals for new work items to the next meetings. Possible items identified at the meeting are:

• 
  Tools for consumer content creation, manipulation, annotation, distribution and privacy
  
• 
  High efficiency video coding considering new colour spaces
  
• 
  High efficiency audio coding
  
• 
  Control of display setting from contents
  
• 
  Accessibility including e-inclusion and alternative output devices for disabled
  
• 
  Capture and presentation of smell, touch, vibrations and emotions
  

At the next meeting, potential work items will be discussed further.
