Condat AG is a Berlin based company working for many years with German public broadcasters (rbb, MDR, ard digital, ZDF) 
in the areas of production planning, web content management, and, more recently, advanced EPG and recommender systems 
based on Metadata and Semantic Web Technology. 

Our main interests, which are also addressed by our current R&D projects together with major telecommunication 
providers and TV-set manufacturers, are: 

- to use a Hybrid-TV set as central hub in the home environment to access video sources and home electronics such as refridgerators or heating

- the aggregation of metadata throughout the whole product cycle from planning, to production, scheduling, publishing, first time transmission, archived consumption, up to user feedback and how this metadata aggregation can be used in order to enable personalized and fine-grained recommendations 

- personal program guides as well as contextual information, dependent on different TV / IPTV viewing scenarios (such as home theater, pc/laptop based, or mobile). 

- advanced linking of video on the basis of HTML 5.0, MPEG7 and SMIL.

As of today, we do not have any specific suggestions here, but would appreciate very much to participate and discuss 
the roles and specific areas of the different standards and taxonomies which are relevant, both W3C and non-W3C, 
and how we might be able to contribute here.
