Although the majority of the work inside the project is devoted to research and development activities, the partners are also involved in other relevant activities such as standardization or cluster activities.

Standardization activities

Several partners of the 2020 3D Media consortium are active in standardization bodies and plan 2020 3D Media related contributions. The following table lists these activities.

Planned contribution

W3C MAWG

JRS

Contribution to the formal modelling of the ontology, using experiences from the WP3T1 prototype implementation and getting feedback and input from other experts in the working group.
Contribution to the reference implementation of the API, supporting the SMPTE metadata formats and MPEG-7 in the back end.
With the specifications to be developed in D3.3 and D3.5 further contributions will be defined.

MPEG
