MPEG completes two important tools
MPEG-21 took another significant step forward with the completion of Part 15 Event Reporting. This new part of MPEG-21 is another important tool in suite of multimedia management technology. Event Reporting provides mechanisms by which providers may request peers to send reports on the usage of Digital Items. The standard provides a specification for the report requests and the reports themselves. As for other MPEG-21 technologies, this infrastructure is not required in all MPEG-21 applications but is a vital business enabler for some content providers.
