Scope:

his part of ISO/IEC 16500 takes a practical approach to the specification of Information Representation. Just the information types that cannot be dispensed with in producing the set of DAVIC applications (viz. broadcast, movies on demand, home shopping, etc.) are specified. The approach taken in this part of ISO/IEC 16500 starts by defining the various monomedia information types. They include character, text, fonts, service information, audio, video, and graphics. Consistent with DAVIC principles, one tool is selected for the encoding of each information type. Multimedia components comprise one or more monomedia components. This part of ISO/IEC 16500 defines the way in which multimedia information is coded and exchanged.

Project need:

To review the standard for its 5-year review period
