5、ognized standards developing organization. Headquartered and incorporated in the United States of America, SMPTE has members in over 80 countries on six continents. SMPTEs Engineering Documents, including Standards, Recommended Practices, and Engineering Guidelines, are prepared by SMPTEs Technology

6、 Committees. Participation in these Committees is open to all with a bona fide interest in their work. SMPTE cooperates closely with other standards-developing organizations, including ISO, IEC and ITU. SMPTE Engineering Documents are drafted in accordance with the rules given in Part XIII of its Ad

7、ministrative Practices. SMPTE ST 2003 was prepared by Technology Committee 30MR on Metadata and Registers. Intellectual Property At the time of publication no notice had been received by SMPTE claiming patent rights essential to the implementation of this Standard. However, attention is drawn to the

8、 possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. SMPTE shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. SMPTE ST 2003:2012 Page 3 of 26 pages 1 Scope This standard defines the structure of a dictionary of types for all registers

9、 defined by SMPTE ST 336. These types may be used in a range of applications such as production workflow applications, data exchange formats, and archival asset management systems. The standard normatively defines universal identifiers, type names, definitions, and standardized symbols, as well as o

10、ther normative and informative fields. Applications of individual entries will vary, but, when used, shall conform to the definitions and formats in the types dictionary. 2 Conformance Notation Normative text is text that describes elements of the design that are indispensable or contains the confor

11、mance language keywords: “shall“, “should“, or “may“. Informative text is text that is potentially helpful to the user, but not indispensable, and can be removed, changed, or added editorially without affecting interoperability. Informative text does not contain any conformance keywords. All text in

12、 this document is, by default, normative, except: the Introduction, any section explicitly labeled as “Informative“ or individual paragraphs that start with “Note:” The keywords “shall“ and “shall not“ indicate requirements strictly to be followed in order to conform to the document and from which n

13、o deviation is permitted. The keywords, “should“ and “should not“ indicate that, among several possibilities, one is recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others; or that a certain course of action is preferred but not necessarily required; or that (in the negative fo

14、rm) a certain possibility or course of action is deprecated but not prohibited. The keywords “may“ and “need not“ indicate courses of action permissible within the limits of the document. The keyword “reserved” indicates a provision that is not defined at this time, shall not be used, and may be def

15、ined in the future. The keyword “forbidden” indicates “reserved” and in addition indicates that the provision will never be defined in the future. A conformant implementation according to this document is one that includes all mandatory provisions (“shall“) and, if implemented, all recommended provi

16、sions (“should“) as described. A conformant implementation need not implement optional provisions (“may“) and need not implement them as described. Unless otherwise specified, the order of precedence of the types of normative information in this document shall be as follows: Normative prose shall be

17、 the authoritative definition; Tables shall be next; followed by formal languages; then figures; and then any other language forms. 3 Normative References Note: All references in this document to other SMPTE documents use the current numbering style (e.g. SMPTE ST 298:2009) although, during a transi

18、tional phase, the document as published (printed or PDF) may bear an older designation (such as SMPTE 298-2009). Documents with the same root number (e.g. 298) and publication year (e.g. 2009) are functionally identical. The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this tex

19、t, constitute provisions of this recommended practice. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this recommended practice are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition

20、of the standards indicated below.

22、pturing data and exchanging it among applications through a standardized hierarchy of universal labels (ULs) that uniquely identify the types, grouped to aid their management within a small but comprehensive number of classes. Type classes are collections of types with common characteristics or attr

23、ibutes. Additional classes are provided for user-defined public, private, and experimental types. The types dictionary defined by this document provides two methods of referencing an individual item. The first is to use a unique, two-part, 16-byte universal label that is numerical (and hence languag

24、e independent). The second method of referencing an item is to use its assigned symbol, which is a name that conforms to computer language syntax restrictions. Symbols are intended for use in computer languages such as the Extensible Markup Language (XML). The symbol shall be unique within a namespa

25、ce that has been defined according to Section 4.4.7. Note: The symbol, together with its namespace defined in Section 4.4.7, forms a unique identifier like the UL. The KLV coding of data items and groups of data items is defined in SMPTE ST 336. The structure of the metadata element dictionary is de

26、fined in SMPTE ST 335, including the requirement for a type entry for each metadata element. This document defines the structure of a dictionary for type entries. The associated types registry includes all entries which have been approved according to the specific procedures defined in Annex B. The

27、exact format of the universal label shall be as defined in SMPTE ST 336. The first eight bytes of the universal label shall consist of the UL Header (2 bytes) and UL designator (6 bytes). The UL designator shall identify the item as belonging to a specific SMPTE register of a given category, structu

28、re, and version. The second eight bytes shall form the item designator as defined in SMPTE ST 336. The item designator shall be used to uniquely identify the meaning or definition of the item in the register. The types dictionary shall be organized into nodes, leaves and children. The dictionary cla

29、sses form class nodes and below these are further nodes at each subclass. To aid the management of the dictionary, these nodes and subnodes shall be assigned a universal label, so as to give clear breaks in the structure. Entries within a subclass form leaves, which are the type descriptions. Some c

30、lasses of type require extra elements for a complete description, these elements are children and shall be regarded as part of the description of the parent type. The universal labels used in the types dictionary defined by this document shall be constructed as shown in Table 1, which complies with

33、 designator 01h The dictionary structure conforms to this SMPTE standard. 8 Version number 01h to 7Fh This indicates the version number of the register. 9-16 Item designator Defined by the types dictionary This identifies a specific type within the types dictionary. Note: As defined in SMPTE ST 298,

34、 a value of 00h at any position in a UL is treated as a terminator and all further values within that UL are required to be zero also. 4.1 Compatibility with Other Data Structures The types dictionary structure is a framework that supports global interoperability by defining types in a way that enab

35、les the interchange of metadata from different sources, applications, and third-party organizations. Note: Many different cataloging conventions are used by communities who focus on a specific domain or subject or who have specific needs for archive and retrieval of multimedia data including, for ex

36、ample, intellectual rights. The types dictionary is not intended to replace conventions already in use, for example in textual naming or keywords. Within the framework of the types dictionary structure, different content creation communities, media indexing professionals, or metadata extractors and

37、users can develop metadata conventions that meet their specific requirements. 4.2 Individual Classes of Types Within the types dictionary, types shall be organized into a hierarchical structure, where each is assigned to a type class as shown in the overview of Figure 1. The initial set of type clas

38、ses in this standard consists of: Class 1: Basic Types Class 2: Enumerated Types Class 3: Record Types Class 4: Multiples Class 5: Reference Types Class 6: Choice Types SMPTE ST 2003:2012 Page 6 of 26 pages Class 8: Controlled Vocabularies Class 13: Organizationally registered for public use Class 1

39、4: Organizationally registered as private Class 15: Experimental These classes are further subdivided as described in the sections below. The number of type classes can be extended in the future to a maximum of 127, and the class numbers that have not been assigned here shall be reserved for use by

40、SMPTE. The processes for registration of new types shall be as specified in normative Annex B. Byte 9 of the UL identifies which of these type classes a metadata element belongs to. Subsequent bytes enable the hierarchical identification of subclasses. Figure 1 Types class structure 4.2.1 Class 1: B

41、asic Types Types in this class shall be simple derivatives of bytestrings of various lengths, with or without significance attached to the most significant bit. Note: When numeric data is stored in binary some types are formatted such that the most significant bit is used to store information such a

42、s the sign of the number. Basic types can be used to hold values formatted with this extra information, or without. For example a single-byte basic type could hold a signed integer between -128 and +127, or an unsigned integer between 0 and 255. Sub-classes in this Class include: Integer Types Renam

43、ed Integer Types Number Types Inseparable Bytestrings Boolean Types SMPTE Types Dictionary Basic Record Reference Controlled Vocabularies Organizationally Registered for Public Use Experimental (Transient) Enumerated Multiple Choice Organizationally Registered as Private 1 3 5 8 13 15 14 6 4 2 SMPTE

44、 ST 2003:2012 Page 7 of 26 pages Character Types Renamed Character Types Note: Renamed types are used where a type is defined that is not fundamentally different in representation to another type, but the two are treated by other specifications as separate types. For example SMPTE ST 377-1 defines t

45、ypes called “Position“ and “Length“ which are 64-bit signed integers. Other subclasses may be added through the process defined in Annex B.1.1. 4.2.2 Class 2: Enumerated Types Types in this class shall consist of a base type, whose allowable values are controlled and have a symbolic identifier or “t

46、oken” assigned to them. They are similar to enums in the C programming language, except that the base type may be any other type. Enumerated Types where the base type is an integer shall be Enumerated Integer Types. Enumerated Types where the values are assigned using a method that can be guaranteed

47、 to yield universally unique numbers (such as the RFC 4122 UUID Algorithms) may be classed as Extendible Enumerations. The definition of an Enumerated Integer Type shall include a list of all permitted values and the equivalent symbolic identifier for each. The definition of an Extendible Enumeratio

48、n may include a non-exclusive list of values with the equivalent symbolic identifier for each, or the definition may include a document that defines the register holding such values for that type. In this case the register shall be specified in the Defining Document field of the entry. Sub-classes i

49、n this Class include: Enumerated Integer Types o Enumerated UInt8 Types Extendible Enumerations (see description above) Other subclasses may be added through registration per Annex B.1.1. 4.2.3 Class 3: Record Types Types in this class are all composed of fixed structures of other types. They are similar to Records in the Pascal programming language, structs in the C Programming Language, and sequences in XML. The definition of a Record type shall include a list of all the component sub-typ
