4. 6/10/20144 Content Referencing The CRID (Content Reference Identifier) allows for location independent referencing of content It is assigned by an authority which also has the ability to resolve the CRID to a location A CRID points to a single piece of content or a series of other CRIDs

5. 10 June 20145 The CRID in a nutshell CRID is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) CRID:// / is a registered internet domain name part is allocated by the authority. Example: CRID://sky.com;films/CastAway

6. 6/10/20146 Why do we need Content Referencing? The same metadata can be used for content regardless of where and when it is broadcast To reference groups of programmes such as an entire series References can be given before time & channel has been decided References work even if there is a change to the scheduled transmission time

7. 6/10/20147 CRID Resolution CRID TOP locator CRID A CRID B CRID C CRID B1 CRID B2 locator A CRID can resolve to other CRIDs At some point, CRIDs must resolve to locations CRIDs resolve to lists (of CRIDs or locators)

8. 6/10/20148 CRID Hierarchy Example Star Trek Location 1 Original Series 1966-1969 Voyager 1995-present Deep Space Nine 1993-1999 The Next Generation 1987-1994 Season 1: 1966-1967 Episode 1: The Man Trap … …… Episode 29: Operation: Annihilate! ……… Season 2: 1967-1968Season 3: 1968-1969 … Location 2Location

9. 6/10/20149 The CRI Authority All CRIDs are published by an authority Metadata is often accessed by CRID & therefore by authority Authority is not tied to a particular Network, Bouquet, Transport stream or Service Authority is a new entity in a DVB network

10. 6/10/201410 RNT: Structure RNT targeted to receivers by context_id and context_id_type Resolution provider entry RAR descriptors reference CRI CRI for authority1.com provided by a second CRI provider CRID authority entry

12. 6/10/201412 CRI: structure Range Prepend Unique

13. 6/10/201413 Metadata XML is very verbose and not very suitable for broadcast, therefore... TV-Anytime defines data format: Fragment: Split document Encode: Compact binary format (MPEG-7 BiM) Encapsulate: Grouping and identification - containers Index: Rapid access for searching (e.g. by CRID) DVB defines broadcast method: MHP object carousel File names of containers Linkage for finding metadata required 2001-04-07T19:00:00.00+01:00 PT00H45M

15. 6/10/201415 Trailer booking Simple mechanism for promoting content Subtable carries data when content is being promoted Description of content CRID Receiver monitors for entries in subtable

16. 6/10/201416 Trailer booking Delivering the CRID with description alongside trailer broadcasts

17. 6/10/201417 Recording CRIDs resolve into locators Broadcast locator has 3 modes: Time only mode - simplest mode Event_id mode - supported by EIT p/f TVA_id mode List of TVA_ids carried in EIT p/f Overlapping and nested programmes Programme status Starting shortly, running, paused, canceled
