ITU-R BT.1699-2 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R BT.1699-2 Harmonization of declarative application*formats for interactive TV (Questions ITU-R 131/6 and ITU-T 4/9) (2005-2009-2013) Scope This Recommendation is intended to harmonize the a
9、pplication environment for declarative applications for interactive TV. It specifies common elements, media types, and APIs at the syntactic level of the declarative application environment. The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that digital broadcasting services (satellite, terrestria
10、l and cable) are becoming widely available and offer multimedia applications; b) that multimedia applications comprising video, audio, still-picture, text, graphics, etc. associated with interactive features have been developed; c) that multimedia applications planned or deployed in some Regions are
11、 using the declarative application environment; d) that common application formats are desirable for production and international exchange of multimedia applications; e) that Recommendation ITU-T J.200 defines, in addition to the definition above, the high-level architecture for a harmonized set of
12、interactive application formats and application programming interfaces (APIs) and identifies the structure of application environment comprising the procedural application environment and the declarative application environment for digital television services; f) that Recommendation ITU-T J.202 spec
13、ifies the common core of procedural application formats in the procedural application environment for interactive TV applications; g) that specification of harmonized declarative content formats in the declarative application environment is also required for interactive TV applications, recommends t
14、hat for interactive TV applications in the declarative application environment, the harmonized declarative application formats specified in Annexes 1-7 should be used. *Recommendation ITU-R BT.1889 provides the definition for “declarative application”: An application which primarily makes use of dec
15、larative information to express its behaviour; an XML document instance is an example of a declarative application. 2 Rec. ITU-R BT.1699-2 Annex 1 Common core of the declarative application formats for interactive TV 1 Introduction This Recommendation identifies functional commonality among the decl
16、arative application environments for interactive TV application specifications ACAP-X, BML and DVB-HTML. Elements which are common to these three standards are identified as a “Common Core”. The value of the Common Core is to assist program authors to exchange declarative applications internationall
17、y using these standards. This Recommendation also notes features outside of the Common Core of the covered standards. The goal of this Recommendation is to note these differences to encourage efforts toward increasing commonality between the standards to further improve functionality and enhance eco
18、nomies of scale. 2 Overview This Recommendation is intended to harmonize the application environment for declarative applications for interactive TV. It specifies common elements, media types and APIs at the syntactic level of the declarative application environment to satisfy regional application r
19、equirements for the three standards ACAP-X, BML and DVB-HTML as specified in the normative references below. This Recommendation is divided into seven annexes. Annex 2 describes the Common Core of the three standards. Annex 3 describes additional functionality outside the Common Core for BML. Annex
20、4 describes additional functionality outside the Common Core for ACAP-X. Annex 5 describes additional functionality outside the Common Core for DVB-HTML. The format described in Annex 6 is an intermediate format for translation between formats including the Common Core and the standards covered in t
21、his Recommendation. The format described in Annex 7 is a framework to bind content authored in multiple formats into single content. It is noted that there are other declarative formats such as ETSIMHEG-5, which are not covered in this Recommendation. However, the migration from environments in use
22、to the harmonized environment is assisted by the identification of a Common Core and the translation using the intermediate format. 3 References 3.1 Normative references 1 BML ARIB STD-B24 V5.3 2 ACAP-X ATSC A/101 3 DVB-HTML ETSI TS 102 812 V1.2.2 4 wTVML ETSI TS 102 322 V1.1.1 5 NCL ABNT NBR 15606-

NOTE 2 By agreement between ITU-R, ABNT, ATSC, ARIB and ETSI, the versions listed in 3.1 were authorized for use
25、by ABNT, ATSC, ARIB and ETSI, and accepted by ITU-R for inclusion in this Recommendation. Any subsequent versions of these standards which have not been accepted and approved by ITU-R are not part of this Recommendation. 3.2 Informative references 1 ETSI-MHEG ETSI TS 202 184 V1.1.1 2 J.202 ITU-T J.2

Except where otherwise noted, all four profiles of BML are assumed. 1.1 Methodology 1.1.1 Layer model Graphics layer should lie on top of other layers such as video or text plane. 1.1.2 Application life cycle There should be a
