The goal of this activity is to make video a first class citizen
of
the Web. Video on the Web (and this includes audio, as the two are typically
used together) has seen explosive growth, improving the richness of the user
experience but leading to challenges in content discovery, searching, indexing
and accessibility. Enabling users (from individuals to large organizations) to
put video in the Web requires that we build a solid architectural foundation
that enables people to create, navigate, search, link and distribute video,
effectively making video part of the Web instead of an extension that doesn't
take full advantage of the Web architecture.
The Timed Text Working Group went through Last Call over the summer of 2009. DFXP 1.0 is now a W3C Candidate Recommendation and we're trying to publish the W3C Recommendation before the end of the year. No feature has been removed from the 2006 version of the specification but dynamic flow was significantly rewritten.
The mission of the Media Annotations Working Group is to provide an ontology and API designed to facilitate cross-community data integration of information related to media objects in the Web, such as video, audio and images. The Media Annotations Working group had the following F2F meetings: one during TPAC 2008, one meeting in Ghent (BE) in december 2008, one in Barcelona (SP) in april 2009, one during TPAC 2009 in Santa Clara (US), one in Stockholm in June 2009, one in Seoul (KR) in Feb 2010, one in Vienna (AT), 27-28 April 2010 and one in Sophia Antipolis, (FR) 8-10 sept 2010 and one during TPAC 2011 in Lyon. Next F2F is sheduled in Santa Clara, (US) 03-04 Nov 2011.
The group has published the following documents:
The Media Annotations Working Group Charter was extended to 30 June 2012.
The mission of the Media Fragments Working Group, is to address temporal and spatial media fragments in the Web using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI). The Media Fragments Working group had the following F2F meetings: one during TPAC 2008, one meeting in Ghent (BE) in december 2008, one meeting in Barcelona (SP) in april 2009, a virtual F2F in september 2009, one meeting in Ghent (BE) 08-09 March 2010 and one in Sophia Antipolis, (FR) 8-10 sept 2010, one meeting in 1-2 November 2011 during TPAC 2011 in Lyon, one meeting in Cupertino 15-17 Feb 2011, and in Sophia Antipolis, (FR) 28-29 June 2011. Next F2F is sheduled in Santa Clara, (US) 03-04 Nov 2011.
The group has published the following documents:
The Media Fragments Working Group Charter ends on 31 December 2011.Therefore an extension is needed to reach Recommendation.
We have not made significant progress over the issue of the video codec to be used in W3C specifications, in particular HTML5. Some W3C Members have been investigating this issue on their own.
We expect to extend the duration of all 3 Working Groups. The Timed Text Working Group will be switched to maintenance mode after December 2009.
