This document was produced by a group operating under the W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.
The W3C Patent Policy does not carry any licensing requirements or commitments on this document.
A registration entry is a document describing one or several metadata entries,
and has the following requirements:
Each metadata entry is defined as a separate VideoFrameMetadata dictionary member.
Each metadata entry must be serializable.
Each metadata entry must be defined by a W3C specification that has
reached consensus in the originating Working Group.
The specification defining each metadata entry must provide clearly defined
semantics. In particular, interactions with the media processing pipeline
(encoders, decoders, renderers, etc.) should be well defined.
A candidate registration entry must be announced by filing an issue in the
WebCodecs GitHub issue tracker so they can be discussed and evaluated for
compliance before being added to the registry. If the Media Working Group
reaches consensus to accept the candidate, a pull request should be drafted
(either by editors or by the party requesting the candidate registration)
to register the candidate. The registry editors will review and merge the
pull request.
Existing entries may be changed after being published, through the same
process as candidate entries. Possible changes include modification of
the link to the public specification.
Existing entries may be deprecated. This requires Media Working Group
consensus, and if still active, consensus of the Working Group that
originated the registration entry specification.
