RE: [backstage] IMDA & metadata

[Alan Ogilvie]

Sorry it's the 30th of March... but I just wanted to make a note of the
BBCs involvement within the IMDA. Currently the BBC is a member of the
Steering Group, and has provided a Technical rep on the technical
committee. This is being headed up by BBC Audio & Music Interactive.

As the other email suggested - it's all 'early days' at the IMDA for the
moment. If anyone has any pressing questions, I'd be happy to receive
your email.

Hi 

Just wondered if any of you guys out there have had any truck with the
Internet Media Device Alliance (http://www.imdalliance.org/
 ) and where we are with metadata in the
world of Internet Radio?

Best wishes

Interesting, but I have to say I'm somewhat put off by

http://www.imdalliance.org/assembly.php ->
http://www.imdalliance.org/IMDA%20Presentation%20Membership%20Benefits.pdf
eg
 - Access to IMDA roadmap to see where the industry is going

...and in particular, by

 "What’s the bottom line - Do you want to be a leader or a follower?"

Do we really need another closed industry consortium?

I don't see anything on the site about public accountability, patent 
policy, and suchlike. Early days, I guess...


cheers,

Dan
