Arborescent data structuring document processing method for adaptation of e.g. video, involves applying specific transformation to document for generating processing units forming fragments of document utilized by recipient entity

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves applying an extensible mark-up Language (XML) transformation to an arborescent data structuring document for generating processing units forming fragments of the document utilized by a recipient entity of the document. The transformation is indicated in a processing document which is associated to the former document. A processing date at which data of the associated processing unit are to be utilized by the recipient entity is assigned to each processing unit. #CMT# : #/CMT# Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a server for implementing an arborescent data structuring document processing method (2) a computer program comprising program code instructions for executing an arborescent data structuring document processing method. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for processing an arborescent data structuring document for streaming metadata for adaptation of scalable multimedia content e.g. video, audio and image, interchanged between two entities such as an information server and a client terminal via Internet. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method permits to define the fragments of the extensible Mark-Up Language document independent of their topology in a simple and flexible manner. The method allows the interchange of the document between different users in order to ensure the interoperability between their respective applications, and avoids the utilization of a specialized handling processor. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows an arborescent data structuring document processing method. `(Drawing contains non-English language text)`.
