Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 29, Coding of audio, picture, multimedia and hypermedia information.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO/IEC 23006-1:2013), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— A new reference diagram of an MPEG-M device where the middleware is seen as a black box. ISO/
IEC 23006-2 specifies a particular instance of the MPEG-M middleware which is organized in
engines.
— High level API exposed by any MPEG-M middleware.

Introduction
The ISO/IEC 23006 series has been developed to enable the easy design and implementation of media-
handling value chains supported by devices that interoperate because they are all based on the same set
of technologies, especially MPEG technologies. The functionalities provided by the MPEG technologies
are accessible via application programming interfaces (API).
The ISO/IEC 23006 series specifies a service-oriented architecture (Part 1), middleware API (Part 2),
conformance and reference software (Part 3), a set of protocols supporting elementary services (Part
4) and the combination of elementary services into aggregated services (Part 5).
MPEG-M supports the service providers’ desire to designed and deploy at reduced cost innovative
multimedia services. This is achieved by identifying a set of elementary services (ES) and defining the
corresponding set of protocols and APIs to enable any user in an MPEG-M value chain to access those
services in an interoperable fashion.
NOTE An MPEG-M value chain is a collection of users, including creators, end users and service providers
that conform to the ISO/IEC 23006 series.
In many real-world MPEG-M value chains, service providers would not be able to exploit the potential of
the series if they were confined to only offer elementary services. Therefore service providers (SP) will
typically offer bundles of ESs, known as aggregated services (AS). In general, there will be a plurality
of SPs offering the same or partially overlapping aggregated services. For example, a SP offering user
description services, may offer content description services as well.
Starting from ISO/IEC 23006-4, an aggregation of services can put together a number of services
generating a complex ISO/IEC 23006 value network, having different topologies and associated services.
Using the ISO/IEC 23006 series, a digital media ecosystem can be established, where:
— developers can offer MPEG-M service components to the professional market because a market will
be enabled by the standard MPEG-M component service API;
— manufacturers can offer MPEG-M devices to the global consumer market because of the global reach
of MPEG-M services;
— service providers can set up and launch new attractive MPEG-M services because innovative
MPEG-M value chains can be easily designed and implemented;
— developers can make available a variety of multimedia applications;
— users can seamlessly create, offer, search, access, pay/cash and consume MPEG-M services.
The ISO/IEC 23006 series extends the devices capabilities with advanced features such as content
generation, processing, and distribution by a large number of users; easy creation of new services
by combining service components of their choice; global, seamless and transparent use of services
regardless of geo-location, service provider, network provider, device manufacturer and provider of
payment and cashing services; diversity of user experience through easy download and installation
of applications produced by a global community of developers since all applications share the same
middleware APIs; and innovative business models because of the ease to design and implement
media-handling value chains whose devices interoperate because they are all based on the same set of
technologies, especially MPEG technologies.
The ISO/IEC 23006 series is subdivided in five parts:
Part 1 — Architecture (the present document): specifies the architecture that can be used as a guide to
an MPEG-M implementation;
Part 2 — MPEG extensible middleware (MXM) API: specifies the middleware APIs;
© ISO/IEC 2018 – All rights reserved v
Part 3 — Conformance and reference software: specifies conformance criteria and a reference software
implementation with a normative value;
Part 4 — Elementary services: specifies elementary service protocols between MPEG-M applications;
Part 5 — Service aggregation: specifies mechanisms enabling the combination of elementary services
and other services to build aggregated services.
