This document defines the metadata transfer envelope for Internet Media
Guides (IMGs). IMG metadata describes files, resources and multimedia
programs available for streaming or downloading via multicast or unicast.
IMG metadata is encapsulated into, or associated with, an IMG envelope
before actual transport. The IMG envelope is a structure providing
independence between IMG transport protocols and different metadata
formats. This specification provides the IMG envelope instantiation using
structured Extensible Markup Language (XML) syntax, both as a wrapper in
which to embed an IMG metadata fragment object and as a distinct object to
associate with a distinct IMG metadata object.
