FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
The aim of TeleWeb is to deliver World Wide Web-style content to the living-room TV to give
the viewer an enhanced television experience. A TeleWeb service broadcasts data files
containing text and high-definition graphics to suitable decoders. The data transmitted can be
closely linked to events within the accompanying TV programmes or can be more general in
nature to emulate a traditional, but higher definition, superteletext service. Different profiles
are defined.
It is intended that TV-based decoders be implemented in a cost-effective manner without
recourse to the technology normally associated with personal computers. In part, this is
achieved by limiting the number of different types of multimedia data that can be used within a
service. By careful design of the user interface, decoder manufacturers will be able to offer
easy-to-use equipment for accessing TeleWeb services without requiring the consumer to be
computer-literate. In addition, they will be able to customize their products to differentiate
them from those of their competitors.
This standard focuses on the transmission layer.

4 Delivery profiles
There are several ways in which a TeleWeb application can be delivered (see Figure 1 in
IEC 62298-1). For the purposes of this document, a delivery profile specifies layers 1 to 4 of
the OSI seven-layer model.
4.1 TeleWeb delivered via Teletext packets in VBI lines
Figure 1 shows layers 1 to 4 of the OSI seven-layer model for delivering a TeleWeb service
via Teletext packets. The application files are formed into a DSM-CC data carousel at the
transport layer, as defined in 5.1. The components of the carousel are then encapsulated in
independent Teletext data packets (see 6.3). These are transmitted in the VBI lines of an
analog TV signal as described in ETSI EN 300 708.

5 Transport layer protocols
This clause defines protocols for implementing the transport layer.
5.1 DSM-CC data carousel
5.1.1 Overview
The files of a TeleWeb service are organized in DSM-CC data carousels according to the
general principles defined in ISO/IEC 13818-6 and adapted for DVB applications as described
in ETSI EN 301 192 and ETSI TR 101 202. The DSM-CC data carousel specification
embodies the cyclic transmission of data to receivers. The data transmitted within a carousel
is first organized into “modules”, which are then subdivided into “blocks”. All the blocks of all
modules within the data carousel are of the same size, except for the last block of each
module, which may be of a smaller size. Each individual file in a TeleWeb service is treated
as a module. Modules can be clustered together to form a “group”. Likewise, groups can be
clustered to form “supergroups”.
The data carousel specification defined here uses three messages from the full data carousel
specification defined in ISO/IEC 13818-6. The data blocks are carried in DownloadDataBlock
(DDB) messages, while control over the modules is provided by DownloadInfoIndication (DII)
and DownloadServerInitiate (DSI) messages. Other DSM-CC messages listed in ISO/IEC
13818-6 are not used in the TeleWeb application and should be ignored by receivers
2
designed to this edition. All messages begin with the generic DSM-CC Message Header.

This header contains information about the type and size of the message. The maximum size
of any DII, DSI or DDB message shall be 4 084 bytes (including the message header).
A receiver shall ignore message fields marked “reserved” (ISO-designated) or “reserved for
future use” (ETSI-designated), noting that such fields may be variable in size.
A data carousel can have one or two layers of control information as shown in Figure 4. The
service provider is free to choose the most appropriate type. A receiver shall be able to work
with both types.

Figure 4 – Structure of one-layer and two-layer data carousels
A one-layer carousel defines a single group. The top-level control message is a DII message.
This describes all the modules in the carousel. The module description includes a descriptor
loop that carries the attributes (for example, type, theme) of each module.
A two-layer carousel comprises a number of one-layer carousels. The top-level control
message is a DownloadServerInitiate message (DSI), 5.1.2.2. This describes the different
groups in the supergroup. Each group is described by a DII message as for a one-layer
carousel.
A TeleWeb service may be implemented across a number of carousels. The need for multiple
carousels arises because of the significant overhead associated with updating the contents of
control messages when transmitting real-time information. This can be minimized by limiting
the amount of data in a carousel that contains information that changes very frequently. The
maximum number of carousels may be limited by the transmission method.
