GGIE TF
Glass to Glass Internet Ecosystem task force (GGIE)
Mission
The GGIE TF is a subset of the Web and TV Interest Group, whose goal is to discuss the end to end Internet digital video ecosystem focusing on all phases of the video life cycle: Capture-Edit-Package-Distribute-Find-Watch for both professional and non-professional digital video.
Digital video is dependent on a large number of interdependent standards from a variety of organizations and standards groups including W3C, IETF, IEEE, CEA, SMPTE, MPEG just to name a few. GGIE will examine the end to end ecosystem for digital video and identify recommended standards and features that could be developed.
Through use cases GGIE will identify essential elements in digital video's life cycle and will identify features that would be appropriate for recommendation for standardization in the appropriate SDOs.
Basic Information of the Task Force's work
- End Date: Oct, 2015
- Confidentiality: Public
- Initial Moderator(s): Glenn Deen
- Meeting Schedule: bi-weekly telcons, at least one face-to-face is anticipated but not yet planned.
Scope
The goal of the GGIE TF is to determine the next steps at W3C and other SDOs involved in the Glass to Glass Internet Ecosystem for digital content for: Scalability; Content Identification; Metadata; User Identity; Privacy
Success Criteria
We have succeeded if we can achieve identification of the elements that could be standardized via the responsible SDO that will enable improvement and new innovation in the ecosystem which enables creation and viewing of digital video on the Internet.
Deliverables
The GGIE TF will do the following:
- Solicit input on use cases to consider from participants.
- Rank and document selected use cases.
- Identify core emergent requirements
- Perform gap analysis to existing standards and standards organizations to satisfy core emergent requirements..
- Prepare requirements description for working groups and SDOs based on gap findings.
Timeline
The GGIE TF should deliver the above listed deliverables by the end date mentioned in this charter (i.e. @@end date@@)
Detailed timeline is available below:
- 1 month to develop and distribute RFI (Request for Input) from TF participants of proposed use cases
- 1 month for RFI responses to be composed and received
- 2 months to review and prioritize use cases
- 2 months to document selected use cases
- 3 months to review and analyze accepted use cases (concurrent with above documenting activitiy)
- 3 months to prepare report of recommended new standards org tasks
- 1 month to present the result to the IG and reach consensus inside the IG
Dependencies
The GGIE TF will work with the following W3C groups and external groups

Communication
This Task Force primarily conducts its technical work on the public mailing list at
public-web-and-tv@w3.org (archive).
TF emails should be labelled accordingly, by prefixing the email subject with the TF identifier "[GGIE]". See W3C mailing list and archive usage guidelines.
There is also a member-only list to be used for administrative purposes at
member-web-and-tv@w3.org (archive).
The moderator maintains the Task Force page on the public Wiki, with the help of the Task Force participants if needed.
