scope:

Multimedia and Hypermedia Experts Group (MHEG) Part 1 (ISO/IEC DIS 13522-1 [1]) is a generic standard, which specifies the coded representation of interchanged multimedia/hypermedia information objects (MHEG objects). These so-called MHEG objects are handled, interpreted and presented by MHEG engines. This ETS specifies the abstract Application Programming Interface (API) for the manipulation of multimedia and hypermedia information objects, i.e. the API that shall be provided by MHEG engines for their control by MHEG applications.
