Axmedis
Encyclopedia
AXMEDIS was initially created as a research project partially supported by the European Commission
under the Information Society Technologies (IST DG-INFSO) programme of the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6). It stands for "Automating Production of Cross Media Content for Multi-channel Distribution". Now it is under distribution as a framework, and is still being maintained and improved. A large part of the framework is under open source licensing. The AXMEDIS framework includes a set of tools, models, test cases, documents, etc. supporting the production and distribution of cross media content.
The market for digital content is rapidly changing. Users are becoming more interested in using more interactive and intelligent content, that example can:
These new forms of content and content usages can be fully exploited for digital content distribution, and are opening paths for a larger set of new applications and markets beyond the limitations of the physical media. With AXMEDIS the combinations of digital content formats and digital distribution channels are creating new applications including: user content, shared content, IPTV
, DVB, VOD
, POD
, WEBTV, etc., for PC, PDA
, mobiles and STB
/PVR. Recent distribution models have been enabled by a set of new technologies grounded on content formats, content processing and adaptation capabilities, content protection models and solutions, hardware capabilities, and new solutions for Digital Rights Management, DRM.
These objectives are being pursued by integrating research results, algorithms and tools.
AXMEDIS is also a powerful cross media format, in which any kind of content can be hosted for its direct access. It has been derived extending MPEG-21 format with a powerful binary file format based on ISOMEDIA, and several metadata, descriptors and tools.
multimedia object which can virtually contain any kind of multimedia resource, metadata
and rights-related information supporting the MPEG-21

AXMEDIS content format supports from simple files to complex collections of multimedia for a large range of applications, from business to business to personal and/or global scale production, protection and distribution, with and without DRM. AXMEDIS format and solution can be used:
The above mentioned scenarios and many others can be realized thanks to AXMEDIS technology and tools of: AXMEDIS content format, DRM, controlled P2P, and Content Processing, see
AXMEDIS Technical Notes http://www.axmedis.org/documenti/documenti.php
While the automated production can be performed by using AXCP tools.
. These tools include a Javascript
Integrated development environment
(IDE), a scheduler and a GRID environment, and a visual designer for AXCP JS rules.
AXMEDIS AXCP can be used to automate your content production, protection and distribution as stated above and in more details into the technical note: AXCP Technical Note. AXCP solution and tools is presently free of charge for any no profit institution. In addition, the full source code is provided to those institutions that are interested to join the develoment community of the AXCP.
The AXCP offers functionalities to support and set up integrated activities of:

In Brief
The AXMEDIS framework supports the whole content production 'food chain' for cross media content creation, aggregation, adaptation, repurposing, protection and multichannel distribution, with a strong focus on automation.The market for digital content is rapidly changing. Users are becoming more interested in using more interactive and intelligent content, that example can:
- include/describe/package several kinds of media (audio, video, games, documents, etc.), reproducing in a single digital object the interactivity and much more powerful entertainment capabilities than DVDs;
- provide enhanced interactivity such as navigating and selecting content elements to be played, making queries into the content elements, reacting to user commands and changes, providing annotations, etc.;
- be exchanged and distributed among different devices/tools: PC, mobiles, smart-phones, STB/PVR, HDRHard disk recorderA hard disk recorder is a type of direct to disk recording system that uses a high-capacity hard disk to record digital audio or digital video.

AXMEDIS aims
According to the official AXMEDIS website the main aims are to:- reduce the costs of cross media (Multi-media) production and distribution
- search for and integrate objects and components through a query support system
- manage and monitor distribution
These objectives are being pursued by integrating research results, algorithms and tools.
AXMEDIS is also a powerful cross media format, in which any kind of content can be hosted for its direct access. It has been derived extending MPEG-21 format with a powerful binary file format based on ISOMEDIA, and several metadata, descriptors and tools.

Main Tools
The AXMEDIS framework consists of a set of tools, accessible also in source code, plus documentation, test cases, specification, content for validation, workflow procedures, examples, grid rules, etc. Following is a (non exhaustive) overview of major tools.AXMEDIS Editors
These tools enable the manual editing of AXMEDIS MPEG-21 objects.While the automated production can be performed by using AXCP tools.
AXMEDIS Players
These tools are needed to play axmedis cross media objects (when they are in clean and/or protected). There are various flavours of the players for different devices for PC (standalone, browser plug-in, skinned), mobile, PDA, set top box.- PC Windows XP and Vista players: capable of executing many video and audio formats and SMIL, HTML, MPEG-4, video, audio, documents, images, etc., and JavaScript methods. AXMEDIS PC player may provide different skin; Most of the AXMEDIS players can be customized in terms of GUI and functionalities. AXMEDIS Skin based player can be easily customized by a designer changing the graphical look and feel.
