The ISO/IEC 21000-17 standard, published by the Korea Agency for Technology and Standards (KR-KATS) on June 30, 2008, under the designation KS X ISO/IEC 21000-17-2008(2023), is part of a comprehensive suite of standards within the Multimedia Framework (MPEG-21). This standard specifically focuses on the identification and management of fragments of MPEG resources. The objective of this document is to provide a systematic approach for handling digital content in a manner that enhances interoperability, accessibility, and flexibility across various multimedia applications.
The ISO/IEC 21000-17 standard defines mechanisms for identifying segments within larger multimedia files or streams, thereby allowing for the efficient transmission, retrieval, and manipulation of these parts. This is particularly crucial as digital content becomes increasingly dynamic and interactive, requiring sophisticated methods to manage its distribution and consumption.
This part of MPEG-21 complements other standards in the series by addressing the challenges associated with handling fragmented media data effectively. It contributes to a cohesive framework that supports advanced functionalities such as adaptive streaming, personalized content delivery, and enhanced user experiences through improved content management systems.
By establishing clear protocols for fragment identification, this standard facilitates seamless integration of multimedia technologies across diverse platforms and devices, fostering innovation in digital entertainment and communication sectors.
