Introduction

The DASH-IF hosts and manages an online cataloging of identifiers for MPEG-DASH profiles, interoperability points, content protection metadata and other DASH related specific schemes. DASH-IF responsibilities include:

  1. hosting the online catalog on its website, listing all defined URIs along with a short descriptions of their schemes and names of their owners,
  2. providing a simple online mechanism to request the addition of new URIs and associated information, and finally

It is believed that maintaining such a proper online catalog helps the industry to increase the interoperability between various industry and consortia specifications, which are utilizing the MPEG-DASH standard.

This website provides procedures how to request cataloging the identifier in the DASH Identifier Repository and it defines a set of available descriptors and schemes identifiers.
