<h1>Video in the Web Activity Statement</h1>

<p>The goal of this activity is to make video a <q>first class citizen</q> of
the Web. Video on the Web (and this includes audio, as the two are typically
used together) has seen explosive growth, improving the richness of the user
experience but leading to challenges in content discovery, searching, indexing
and accessibility. Enabling users (from individuals to large organizations) to
put video in the Web requires that we build a solid architectural foundation
that enables people to create, navigate, search, link and distribute video,
effectively making video part of the Web instead of an extension that doesn't
take full advantage of the Web architecture. </p>

<h2>Highlights Since the Previous Advisory Committee Meeting</h2>

<p>The <strong>Timed Text Working Group</strong> went through Last Call over
the summer of 2009. <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/CR-ttaf1-dfxp-20090924/">DFXP 1.0</a> is now a
W3C Candidate Recommendation and we're trying to publish the W3C Recommendation
before the end of the year. No feature has been removed from the 2006 version
of the specification but dynamic flow was significantly rewritten.</p>

<p>The mission of the <strong>Media Annotations Working Group</strong> is to
provide an ontology and API designed to facilitate cross-community data
integration of information related to media objects in the Web, such as video,
audio and images. The Media Annotations Working group had the following F2F
meetings: one during TPAC 2008, one meeting in Ghent (BE) in december 2008, one
in Barcelona (SP) in april 2009, one during TPAC 2009 in Santa Clara (US), one
in Stockholm in June 2009, one in Seoul (KR) in Feb 2010, one in Vienna (AT),
27-28 April 2010 and one in Sophia Antipolis, (FR) 8-10 sept 2010 and one
during <a href="http://www.w3.org/Member/Meeting/">TPAC 2011</a> in Lyon. Next
F2F is sheduled in Santa Clara, (US) 03-04 Nov 2011.</p>

<p>The group has published the following documents:</p>
<ul>
  <li>a second version of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-media-annot-reqs-20100121">Use Cases and
    Requirements for Ontology and API for Media Resource 1.0</a> on 21 January
    2010, as an input for the development of "the Ontology and the API for
    Media Resource 1.0" Specification. </li>
  <li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-mediaont-10-20090618/">Ontology for
    Media Resource 1.0</a> a first Working Draft on 18 June 2009. A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-mediaont-10-20100309">second WD
    version</a> was released on 09 March 2010. A <a id="Last" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-mediaont-10-20100608/" name="Last">first

    Ressources were published. The Group is about to publish a Proposed
    Recommandation version.</li>
  <li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-mediaont-api-1.0-20091020">API for
    Media Resources 1.0</a> first Working Draft on 20 October 2009. A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-mediaont-10-20100309">second version
    </a> was released on 09 March 2010. A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-mediaont-api-1.0-20100608/">first Last

    Cal</a>l version on 12 July 2011 of the API for Media Ressources were
    published. The Group is about to publish a Candidate Recommendation
  version.</li>
</ul>

<p>The Media Annotations Working Group Charter was extended to 30 June 2012.</p>

<p>The mission of the <strong>Media Fragments Working Group</strong>, is to
address temporal and spatial media fragments in the Web using Uniform Resource
Identifiers (URI). The Media Fragments Working group had the following F2F
meetings: one during TPAC 2008, one meeting in Ghent (BE) in december 2008, one
meeting in Barcelona (SP) in april 2009, a virtual F2F in september 2009, one
meeting in Ghent (BE) 08-09 March 2010 and one in Sophia Antipolis, (FR) 8-10
sept 2010, one meeting in 1-2 November 2011 during <a href="http://www.w3.org/Member/Meeting/">TPAC 2011</a> in Lyon, one meeting in
Cupertino 15-17 Feb 2011, and in Sophia Antipolis, (FR) 28-29 June 2011. Next
F2F is sheduled in Santa Clara, (US) 03-04 Nov 2011.</p>

<p>The group has published the following documents:</p>
<ul>
  <li>a second version of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-media-frags-reqs-20091217/">Use cases
    and requirements for Media Fragments</a>, Working Draft on 17 December
  2009.</li>
  <li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-media-frags-20091217">Media

  2010.</li>
  <li>A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-media-frags-20110317">second Last
    Call of the Media Fragments URI 1.0</a> was published on 17 March 2011.</li>
</ul>

<p>The Media Fragments Working Group Charter ends on 31 December 2011.Therefore
an extension is needed to reach Recommendation.</p>

<p>We have not made significant progress over the issue of the video codec to
be used in W3C specifications, in particular HTML5. Some W3C Members have been
investigating this issue on their own.</p>

<h2>Upcoming Activity Highlights</h2>

<p>We expect to extend the duration of all 3 Working Groups. The Timed Text
Working Group will be switched to maintenance mode after December 2009.</p>
