Hi,
WebApps does have a related deliverable in its charter:
[[
http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/charter/#deliverables
Metadata Access and Extensible Information for Media (MAXIM)
a generic API for accessing metadata embedded in or linked to
media files
]]
However, as you can see from WebApps' publication status wiki, work
on this spec is not active because of related work ongoing by the
Media Annotations WG:
[[
http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/PubStatus#API_Specifications
Media Object (http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/MediaObject/publish/) -
This spec is not active because it is expected to be replaced by the
Media Object API in progress by the Media Annotations WG; see Media
Object API Use Cases and Requirements (http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-
media-annot-reqs-20090604/)
]]
Soohong, Media Annotations WG - would you please provide a short
update/status and plans regarding your Media API spec? Also, is this
the most recent API document:

api-1.0.html

Subject: Is there proposal of accessing metadata of media files?
Archived-At: <http://www.w3.org/mid/

Hi, all
I'm looking for the API proposal of accessing metadata of media files.
For example, I'll want to access metadata of audio files for to get
it's title, artists, etc.
Or, if I need to get the shooting time of photo, I'll want to get it
from JPEG's EXIF header.
Is there API proposal which satisfies these case?
Thanks.
