Title : The Annodex annotation format for time-continuous bitstreams, Version 2.0
Author(s) : S. Pfeiffer, C. Parker
Filename : draft-pfeiffer-annodex-01.txt
Pages : 30
Date : 2004-1-13
This specification defines a file format for annotating and indexing
time-continuous bitstreams for the World Wide Web. The format has
been named 'Annodex' for annotating and indexing. The Annodex format
enables the specification of named anchor points in time-continuous
bitstreams together with textual annotations and hyperlinks in URI
[4] format. These anchor points are merged time-synchronously with
the time-continuous bitstreams when authoring a file in Annodex
format. The ultimate aim of the Annodex format is to enable an
integration of time-continous bitstreams into the browsing and
searching functionality of the World Wide Web.
At this point in time, the right to produce derivative works is not
granted to the IETF as the authors are uncertain about the necessity
to create a working group. The specification is not encumbered by
patents. The Annodex format is protected by a trade mark to prevent
the use of the term 'Annodex' for any related but non-conformant and
therefore non-interoperable technology. Conformant technology is
encouraged to use the term 'Annodex' when refering to the file
format.
Notice the change to Annodex 2.0 from the previous version of this
Internet-Draft, replacing Annodex 1.0.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
