Media and Entertainment Interest Group

This is the Wiki for the W3C Media and Entertainment Interest Group (formerly the Web and TV Interest Group), used to organize work in the IG. Higher-level information about the IG is available on the main home page of the group. The Interest Group reviews existing work and identifies requirements and potential solutions for the Web and audio-visual entertainment media (TV, movies, etc). The development of Web standards, when required, takes place in other working groups.
