1 Scope
This European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) specifies the Application Programmable Interface
(API) for the manipulation of multimedia and hypermedia information objects, i.e. the API that shall be
provided by MHEG-5 engines for their control by applications running on a DAVIC 1.1 compliant terminal.
MHEG part 5 (ISO/IEC 13522-5 [1]) is a standard, which specifies the coded representation of
interchanged multimedia/hypermedia information objects (MHEG-5 objects) for base level applications.
These so-called MHEG-5 objects are handled, interpreted and presented by MHEG-5 engines.
2 Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this ETS
only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies.

Hypermedia Information - Part 5: Support for Base-Level Interactive
Applications".

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the definitions of the standards referenced below apply. Should any
ambiguity occur, definitions of the following standards apply, in decreasing order:
- ISO/IEC IS 13522-5 [1] MHEG-5;
- any other standard part of ISO/IEC 13522 MHEG.
Application Programmable Interface (API): A boundary across which a software application uses
facilities of programming languages to invoke software services. These facilities may include procedures
or operations, shared data objects and resolution of identifiers.
local application: A piece of software which is part of the (telecommunication) application and is running
on the considered equipment.
MHEG-5 API: The API provided by an MHEG-5 engine to local applications for the manipulation of
MHEG-5 objects, as defined in this ETS.
MHEG-5 engine: A process or a set of processes that interpret MHEG-5 objects encoded according to
the encoding specifications of ETS 300 777-1 [2] or the MHEG-5 textual notation.

3.2 Abbreviations
For the purposes of this ETS, the following abbreviations apply:
API Application Programmable Interface
ASN.1 Abstract Syntax Notation One

DSM-CC Digital Storage Media Command and Control
MHEG Multimedia and Hypermedia information coding Experts Group
SI Service Information
STU Set Top Unit
U-U User to User

4 Overview
The following subclause positions the API defined by this ETS in the framework of the DAVIC
specifications.
4.1 The DAVIC application interchange format
To deliver multimedia information to STUs in an interoperable way, applications shall use the MHEG-5
final form interchange format, as defined by ISO/IEC 13522-5 [1]. The ASN.1 notation and encoding, as
defined by ETS 300 777-1 [2], shall be used to interchange MHEG-5 objects. This format defines the
semantics and the encoding of the multimedia and hypermedia objects.
To deliver program code to STUs in an interoperable way, applications shall use the MHEG-5
Interchanged Program class to encapsulate DAVIC VM code, according to the semantics and encoding
defined by ISO/IEC 13522-6 [4]. Java VM classes are called from MHEG-5 objects using the MHEG-5 call
and fork elementary actions.
The Java VM code interchange unit is a Java VM class. Java VM classes shall be encoded as defined by
the Class File Format section of the Java Virtual Machine specification. A Java class encapsulates data
and methods that consist of sequences of instructions. The instruction set is defined by the Java Virtual
Machine instruction set section of the Java Virtual Machine specification.
4.2 Core set of Java APIs
The following set of APIs are used by Java VM code in the DAVIC 1.1 specifications to express access to
basic functions of the STU in an interoperable way:
- the java.lang package;
- the java.util package;
- the iso.mheg5 package;
- the davic.dsmccuu package;
- the etsi.si package.
NOTE 1: The Java VM specification provides flexible mechanisms to call upon external
functions whose interface is defined as a Java package. The DAVIC 1.1 specification
only includes a minimum core set of packages required for Java VM code to be useful
in a DAVIC environment. It is anticipated that additional Java packages will be
standardized at a later stage.
NOTE 2: Especially, the java.io package, although strictly speaking not necessary to the useful
performance of the VM environment, is part of the Java foundation classes. It is
intended that the java.io package be added to the DAVIC core set of Java APIs
together with an adequate specification of its semantics in a DAVIC environment.
The java.lang package, as defined by the Java API documentation, consists of the minimal set of Java
VM classes needed to run Java VM code, supporting the following functionality: basic data types, object,
mathematical operations, security, thread management, string manipulation, exception handling.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 777-3 E1:2003
Page 9
ETS 300 777-3: September 1997
The java.util package, as defined by the Java API documentation, consists of Java VM classes
supporting a number of utility features common to all Java VM programs.
The iso.mheg5 package, as defined by this ETS, provides Java VM code with access to and
manipulation of the MHEG-5 multimedia presentation and interaction objects, i.e. access to the dynamic
attributes of MHEG-5 objects and invocation of elementary actions on MHEG-5 objects.
The davic.dsmccuu package, together with the associated davic.CosNaming and
davic.CosNaming.NamingContext_ packages, as defined by ETS 300 777-2 [3], enables Java VM
code to use the DSM-CC U-U interface objects for network data access.
The davic.dsmccuu package implements a subset of the DSM-CC U-U API. Access to the following Core
SetTop services is provided:
- interface Base: operations Close and Destroy;
- interface File: operations Read and Write;
- interface Directory: operations Open, Close and Get;
- interface ServiceGateway: operations Attach and Detach;
- interface CosNaming::NamingContext: operations List and Resolve;
- interface CosNaming::BindingIterator: operations Next_One and Next_N.
The etsi.si package enables Java VM code to access information transmitted in the DAVIC Service
Information (SI) stream.
