Description

{multi-excerpt:name=brief-description}The Media Service provides basic support for managing metadata around media.  This includes data about creation, publishing and rights; dimensions (resolution, time length, etc.), and similar attributes.{multi-excerpt}

Also included in the broad category of media service support is production and management of derivatives (thumbs, etc.) and some annotation support. We need to think a lot more about the extent of this support, especially in the area of time-based media annotation and delivery (segment playback, etc.).

Assumptions

• We have to be able to manage digital images, and produce and expose simple derivatives.
• We are not building a digital asset management (DAM) system.
• We would like to be able to consume services from DAM systems when they are present.
• Time-based media support is much more complex.

Key Concepts

• Especially things that become common sense, and so usually missed by new reviewers

Dependencies

• Media services may relate to Archival and Preservation services.
• It needs to be looked at closely related to the Resource services.

Background Documentation

• We should have at least some notes from community design meetings, so link to them here.
• AFAIK, there are few if any relevant sections in Spectrum. There are best practices from other sources we may be able to draw upon.
