Accelerating Syndication Standards are required in 3 areas • A metadata schema for sharing content • Title, author, description, etc. • Video players that respect advertising policies • Dynamically determine the ad format, when to ask for an ad and which campaign management system to call • Reporting • Metadata standards for video views, ad impressions, and other common statistics • Ability to send data to multiple reporting servers
The Benefits • Reduce the technical friction between content owners and distributors • Revenue shares on advertising aligns interests • Reporting keeps the relationships healthy • Consumers get a better experience on the sites they love.
A Starting Point • SMIL • Metadata container that’s already supported by many of the media players on the web today • Dynamic advertising may be enabled by SMIL within SMIL • Advertising campaign management systems already return SMIL files • Need a SMIL-type; content, advertising, etc. • A parallel process for reporting can be defined
