Handling Binary Encoded XML

Tags: metadata, developers, applications, data

Overview In multimedia applications, XML is being increasingly used to represent metadata; examples are MPEG-7 multimedia description schemes and MPEG-21 usage environment descriptions. As with the media data, the size of, or the overhead induced by, the XML metadata is important. Therefore, compression (binary encoding) of the XML data becomes relevant to reduce this overhead. Within the MPEG-7 standardization effort, a Binary Format for Metadata (BiM) was developed, providing good compression efficiency. Using binary encoded XML should not add additional complexity for application developers. This paper investigated the solution to handle binary encoded XML data by the XML parser. As such applications do not need to be aware of the type of encoding of the XML data.
