This page summarizes the relationships among specifications, whether they are finished standards or drafts. Below, each title
links to the most recent version of a document.

Drafts
Below are draft documents:
Proposed Recommendations, Candidate Recommendations, other Working Drafts.
Some of these may become Web Standards through the W3C Recommendation Track
process. Others may be published as Group Notes or
become obsolete specifications.
Proposed Recommendations

This document defines the Ontology for Media Resources 1.0. The term
"Ontology" is used in its broadest possible definition: a core
vocabulary. The intent of this vocabulary is to bridge the different
descriptions of media resources, and provide a core set of descriptive
properties. This document defines a core set of metadata properties for
media resources, along with their mappings to elements from a set of
existing metadata formats. Besides that, the document presents a
Semantic Web compatible implementation of the abstract ontology using
RDF/OWL. The document is mostly targeted towards media resources
available on the Web, as opposed to media resources that are only
accessible in local repositories.

This document describes the Media Fragments 1.0 specification. It specifies the syntax for constructing media fragment URIs and explains how to handle them when used over the HTTP protocol. The syntax is based on the specification of particular field-value pairs that can be used in URI fragment and URI query requests to restrict a media resource to a certain fragment.

This specification introduces and compares two client-side APIs
for processing and synthesizing real-time audio streams in the browser.

This specification describes a high-level JavaScript API for
processing and synthesizing audio in web applications. The primary
paradigm is of an audio routing graph, where a number of AudioNode
objects are connected together to define the overall audio rendering.
The actual processing will primarily take place in the underlying
implementation (typically optimized Assembly / C / C++ code), but
direct JavaScript processing and synthesis is also supported.

This proposal makes HTML Streams the foundation for integrated
Web media processing by creating a mixing and effects processing
API for HTML Streams.

This document complements the Media Fragments 1.0 specification.
It described various recipes for processing media fragments URI when
used over the HTTP protocol.

This document describes use cases and requirements for the
development of the Media Fragments 1.0 specification. It also specifies
the syntax for constructing media fragment URIs and explains how to
handle them when used over the HTTP protocol. It finally includes a
technology survey for addressing fragments of multimedia document.
