RE: [mvco] Revised Requirement of Media Value Chains Ontology

Marc,

We are talking of two different things

 

1.       the fact that we want to enable those practising the MVCO standard to do so without paying royalties

2.       the fact that you want to make clear that this does not imply that an implementation of the MVCO standard also becomes available royalty free.

 

It is the first time that #1 is explicitly placed in a CfP.

It is also the first time that #2 is raised but its implication has been around for as long as MPEG has been around. As far as I know no royalties are claimed for MPEG-1 Video. Does it mean that you can consider an MPEG-1 Video implementation freely accessible to you?

I would rather not try if I were you …

Leonardo

Leonardo,

 

It may be tbe case that some understanding has been established but that has little to do with my comment:

 

1) that the reauirements wording does not make the distinction I think is required and

 

2) how is it that such policy statements are made part of the technical requirements?

 

 In any event and according to the examplke you give, the wording should be:

 

"The Ontology SHALL be made available royalty free for use by any developer in both commercial and non commercial applications"

 

Is this not the first time that an MPEG standard makes such a policy statement in a Requirements document?  If so I do not think there can exist previously established understanding about a first time event.

 

Best,

 

Marc

Marc,

We are back to discussions we had many times and many places.

I assume that the ontology will be the object of the MVCO standard, so in this sense the MVCO is the equivalent of the MPEG-2 standard.

Today those who make MPEG-2 set top boxes pay royalties to make their set top boxes, but then the set top boxws are theirs and they sell them a cost.

Those who will make applications that uses the MVCO standard will not (according to the requirements) pay royalties for the use of the MVCO standard but they will sell the application at a cost.

I do not think we need a different wording, at least within MPEG (ISO) because this has been the understanding in the 20 years of MPEG life.

Leonardo

Martin, All

As I mentioned in London I agree with the concept of making the ontology universally accessible, however saying "royalty free implementation" can be misunderstood as the ontology itself may be royalty free as in access to the OWL file however the application that implements the OWL cannot be guaranteed to be royalty free.

Requierment 13 "Unfettered Access" covers much of what I understand is the intent behind your requirement for "royalty free implementation" in that technically access to the logic contained in say the OWL file needs to be easily accessible to any application in order for the ontology to gain widespread acceptance. 

Can you suggest a new wording that avoids confusing access to the ontology with access to implementations of the ontology?

Best,

Marc

Jaime, All,

during the DMP GA17 in London I learned that my second requirement for
the MVCO was not clear. Thanks to the discussions and valuable input
by DMP members I was able to rephrase it - see attachment. I hope it's
clear now.

I am looking forward to reading your comments.

yours sincerely,
Martin Springer
