Abstract

The specifications developed by TV-Anytime describe in full detail the information structures that help to implement a system of unambiguous content references (Chap. 3) and the characterization of such contents through standardized metadata (Chaps. 4, 5 and 6), as well as how both tools are combined to provide a context that facilitates the construction and deployment of intelligent services.

In this chapter we will specifically address the transport of metadata between the operator and the user’s receiver, and will outline certain mechanisms that TV-Anytime standardizes to facilitate that delivery of information.
