CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 15938-9:07 (R2022)

CSA Preface

Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).

At the time of publication, ISO/IEC 15938-9:2005 is available from ISO and IEC in English only. CSA will publish the French version when it becomes available from ISO and IEC.

This International Standard was reviewed by the CSA TCIT under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Information Technology and deemed acceptable for use in Canada. From time to time, ISO/IEC may publish addenda, corrigenda, etc. The CSA TCIT will review these documents for approval and publication. For a listing, refer to the CSA Information Products catalogue or CSA Info Update or contact a CSA Sales representative. This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada.

Scope

1.1 General

This part of 15938-9 collects standard profiles and levels for MPEG-7, specified across all ISO/IEC 15938 parts. While all parts are potential candidates for profiling, current profiles concentrate on the description definition language [ISO/IEC 15938-2], visual [ISO/IEC 15938-3], audio [ISO/IEC 15938-4] and multimedia description schemes [ISO/IEC 15938-5], which are based on the namespace versioning defined in schema definition [ISO/IEC 15938-10].
