RELEASE HISTORY

This page details the release history of Common Metadata.

Versioning: Number changes (e.g., 1.2 and 2.4) constitute schema changes. Letter changes (2.3c) are documentation-only changes.

Backwards Compatible means that elements were added, but old elements still exist. Therefore, an old XML document with the new namespace will validate.


Version 2.11

This annual release of Common Metadata expands people and character descriptions, expands inclusive language to people’s titles/honorifics, and provides the means to capture trivia and other interesting facts. For technical data, Common Metadata eliminates ambiguities around timecodes, and masks.

  • Common Metadata, TR-META-CM, v2.11, December 23, 2022 (PDF)
  • Version showing changes from v2.10 (PDF)

This release is evolutionary, adding new enumerations, deprecating strings that are too short to be useful and adding technical information. The most substantial changes support more advanced supply chain use cases.

Backwards Compatible

Annotated Changelist

General Types

  • Clarified EIDR-X extension acceptable characters. Former wording unnecessarly constrained encoding and prohibited characters in common use 9e.g., ":").
  • Added EIDR-URN ID scheme -- RFC 7972 provides a method for encoding EIDR as a URN
  • Added Scope and @subscope to ContentIdentifier-type -- Provides additional context for identifiers. Primary use case is to differentiate EIDR Edits from EIDR Abstractions. Previously, they both encode as EIDR and you would have to go to the EIDR database to differentiate.

Workflow

  • Added Workflow-attr attribute group -- This is bookkeeping that ensures the existing workflow pattern is consistent across various objects. These parameters support update workflows and workflow QC.
  • Added support for UN M49 area codes -- Provides more flexibiltiy of referencing regions.

Basic Metadata

  • Made TitleSort and Sumary190 optional -- These fields are not required in some workflows, but were required by the schema. Provides a path for deprecating Summary190 which is too short to be useful in most cases.
  • Added 'AVOD' and 'PVOD' release types
  • Added @condition to LocalizedInfo to support windowed metadata -- Allows connection from Avail to metadata in the same manner as ALIDExperienceMap/ExperienceID/@condition

Digital Asset Metadata

  • Added Atmos to codecs -- Added Atmos over DD+ and TrueHD to Audio Codec Added Drop Frame indication in subtitles -- Handles special timing case in subtitles.Added Loudness to audio encoding
  • Added information about video before encoding (cadence)
  • Added to Audio support for SMPTE S 377-4 MCA Audio Content Kind and MCA Audio Element Kind

Version 2.5

This version adds support for Immersive video including VARM (Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality) and 360 Video; improves image and interactive Digital Asset data; and includes numerous changes to support supply chain use cases.

Backwards Compatible

Annotated Changelist

Added support for VR, AR, MR and 360 video and audio types. This includes changes throughout (WorkType, Video, Audio, Interactive, etc.)

Basic Metadata

  • Clarified EIDR-X extension acceptable characters. Former wording unnecessarly constrained encoding and prohibited characters in common use 9e.g., ":").
  • Expanded WorkType definitions for other media. Supports, VARM, games, apps, CPE , etc.
  • Added ArtReference/@purpose. This is used to select the appropriate image for a particular use rather than just relying on resolution.
  • Added 360 and Multiview to ThreeD (3D). Allows signaling of 360 video. Multiview indicates multiple sychronized videos. 360 with multieview is sometimes called 'teleporting'.
  • Added ‘no-audio’ WorkTypeSub to indicate silent film with no audio. This is used in MMC to signal that the work truly has no associated audio (i.e., don't fail QC for missing audio).
  • Allow multiple DistrTerritory in ReleaseHistory. Saves having to repeat the whole record when the same party distributes in multiple territories.
  • Added @role to Release org in Release history. When ambiguos indicates role of mentioned party.

Digtal Asset Metadata

  • Audio
    • Added Ambisonics and Quad Binaural. Part of VARM/360 support.
    • Added @forced boolean to indicate forced narrative on dubs. This is used in MMC to signal that there is no forced subtitle track (i.e., what would be in forced subtitles is included in audio). This typicaly used when some languages have forced subs and others do not (i.e., don't fail QC for missing forced subs).
    • Allow multiple instances of Language. Required for tracks without a dominant language (e..g, Babel)
    • Add SubType and People to audio track for better descriptions of commentaries. Provides better information for commentary track selection (i.e., whose commentary).
  • Video
    • Added CaptureMethod (e.g., live action vs. animation). This is specifically designed to provide information to optimize encoders for video type. Also, this can be interesting to a consumer.
  • Subtitle
    • Added FormatType enumerations for TTML variants (e.g., IMSC1). Needed to distinguish formats.
  • Image
    • Added Description, Type, Purpose, HDR information and VR thumbnail information. General improvements to image description. VARM/360 support.
  • Interactive
    • Added SubType and Encoding/EnvironmentAttribute to better describe expected playback environment (useful for apps and VR). Environment attributes are anything else needed to play (for example, wand controllers). This information is used to determine if playback environment is sufficient.

Version 2.4

This release adds a variety of small features to support specific Cross-Platform Extras and Media Manifest Core use cases.

Backwards Compatible
