Assigned to: SC-03-07, Initiated: 1997,M. Yonge reported that it had been clarified with the Chair of W25 that the AES could establish a class 13 dictionary entry within the metadata dictionary. This would be managed by the AES standards secretariat and published on the AES standards "Registered Values" area of the web site. The main advantage of doing this is that the UID's would be harmonised across the SMITE dictionary and any other origination's elements who are also registered within this dictionary.

Assigned to: SC-03-07, Initiated: 2002-09-23,Status: PTD expected Contribution documents from the EBU along with the document from AES-X098A discussed above. Along with the new information from SMPTE showing a method of automatically generating XML tag names, we now have potential conflicting input to this project. Discussions ensued on the problems that could occur with the possibilities of having multiple XML tag names for the same metadata element. It was felt that it is important that a core set of audio metadata should be very well defined and then mapped into a class 13 SMPTE registration. Then anything that is AES compatible with this set will also be mapped and compatible with SMPTE as well. Additional elements can be added to the AES sets if required, but these need not also be registered with SMPTE unless there was a need. In this way the AES would maintain the management of the core XML tag names associated with their related UID's. The status of AES-X98B was stated as being in secretariat format.
