Hi - Thanks for the comments. Please see my responses. I used the EIDR draft as a template (https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-pal-eidr-urn-00.txt). Ad-ID is similar, but for advertisements where as EDIR is for program content.
Major Issues: ------------- This is an informative document that states "Ad-ID is the industry standard..." but doesn't provide a clear normative reference to an industry standard at that point. I assume that would be [SMPTERP2092-1]. If so it should be referenced right there. Unfortunately it's behind a pay wall (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7291518/). The IESG needs to confirm whether that's acceptable. SMPTE can readily make SMPTE RP 2092-1 available privately to IESG members (through a liaison). Note that SMPTE and ISO exceptionally make standards available for free upon request. > An Ad-ID Identifier consists of a unique eleven character string > or a unique twelve character string (video codes only). What's a "character"? ASCII or UTF-8? It is Alphanumeric. Our character coding is UTF-8. Im not sure if this is needed. The informative reference [Ad-ID-INTRO] doesn't seem to know whether it's a technical appendix or a reference, and the URL that it cites is unhelpful. The material at http://www.ad-id.org/how-it-works/ad-id-structure seems to be what is needed but partly duplicates what is in the draft. Maybe this material is only given here because the actual SMPTE standard costs more than $100? If so, I think it should be clearly labelled as informational material and that only the SMPTE document is definitive. This is meant to just be an introductory text for what an Ad-ID is. That being said, perhaps a link to here is more relevant: http://www.ad-id.org/how-it-works/ad-id-structure This is also referenced in SMPTE RP 2092-1 Jarrett _______________________________________________ Gen-art mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/gen-art
