  1. Hyperlinking to time offsets: The temporal URI specificationW3C Video WorkshopSilvia PfeifferDec 2007Annodex Association, Xiph.Org, Vquence

  2. Motivation • Hyperlinking to video offsets or segments directly (“deep hyperlinking”) • Without transferring irrelevant part of resource • Use cases: • Playlists of video highlights (e.g. news bulletin) • Search results • Mashups without touching/changing original • Caching Web proxies

  3. Temporal URI examples • Time offset addressing: http://www.foo.bar/video.anx?t=85.28 • Time segment addressing: http://www.foo.bar/video.anx?t=85.28/102.20 • Named event addressing: http://www.foo.bar/video.anx?id=wedding

  4. Deep Hyperlinking • Difference to indirect hyperlinking through XPointer in a XML description container (e.g. MPEG-7, SMIL, MPEG-21) • Method of WWW: URIs (RFC 3986)

  5. Restrictions of RFC 3986 • http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt • “… any operation associated with a URI reference is defined by the protocol element, data format attribute, or natural language text in which it appears.” • Want to use http • Data offset operation is data format specific

  6. Types of Addressing • Addressing a time offset • Addressing a time segment • Adressing a named event Keep them uniform

  7. What format? • “making use of a URI in order to retrieve a representation of its associated resource” foo://example.com:8042/over/there?name=ferret#nose \_/ \______________/\_________/ \_________/ \__/ | | | | | scheme authority path query fragment • Query or fragment to specify subcomponent

  8. Query or Fragment? • Fragment: “indirect identification of a secondary resource” • Query: “serves to identify a resource” • “Fragment identifiers have a special role in information retrieval systems as the primary form of client-side indirect referencing, allowing an author to specifically identify aspects of an existing resource that are only indirectly provided by the resource owner.” • I.e. fragments are resolved on client-side only

  9. Temporal URI spec • Use both: fragment and query • Semantics: • Fragment: client-side offsets / filtering • Query: server-side resource composition • Specific data format: Annodex files (ogg + skeleton + cmml)

  10. Annodex • Ogg files: Ogg is container format • Skeleton: logical bitstream that identifies contained tracks • CMML: annotation track that names sections

  11. Temporal URI examples • Time offset addressing: http://www.foo.bar/video.anx?t=85.28http://www.foo.bar/video.anx#t=85.28 • Time segment addressing: http://www.foo.bar/video.anx?t=85.28/102.20http://www.foo.bar/video.anx#t=85.28/102.20 • Named event addressing: http://www.foo.bar/video.anx?id=weddinghttp://www.foo.bar/video.anx#id=wedding

  12. Time specs in URI queries Accessing a time interval of an Annodex file: • temporal URI query parameter (CGI conformant) t=[time-scheme:]time-interval • http://www.foo.bar/csiro.anx?t=85.28 • http://www.foo.bar/csiro.anx?t=smpte-25:00:01:25:07 • http://www.foo.bar/csiro.anx?t=npt:85.28-105/290-300 • http://www.foo.bar/csiro.anx?t=clock:20040114T153045.25Z

  13. Annodex Web server Web Client ANX ANX URI URI Web Server http://www.foo.bar/fish.anx?t=7

  14. Time query processing Annodex file on server http://www.foo.bar/fish.anx?t=7 * retain BOS pages * retain secondary header pages * copy active clip tags * retain EOS pages

  15. Annodex Server Module • MIME types: application/annodex • Apache module: mod_annodex • module provides temporal and clip URI query handling by recomposing valid ANX resource

  16. Caching Web Proxy fish.anx?id=clip2 fish.anx?id=clip3 Caching Web Proxy fish.anx?id=clip1 ANX 2 3 Origin Web Server fish.anx?id=clip1

  17. Caching Web Proxy Caching Web Proxy ANX clip1 clip2 Origin Web Server clip3 fish.anx

  18. Summary • Challenges to address: • Get syntax right • Definition is data format specific • Semantics on server • Other implications on Web infrastructure
