Full title and description

Information technology — MPEG systems technologies — Part 1: Binary MPEG format for XML — Technical Corrigendum 1 (ISO/IEC 23001-1:2006/Cor 1:2007). This corrigendum issues technical and editorial corrections to the original ISO/IEC 23001-1:2006 specification for the Binary MPEG Format for XML (BiM).

Abstract

This technical corrigendum provides corrections and clarifications to the ISO/IEC 23001-1:2006 standard, which defines a compact binary representation of XML for efficient transport and storage (the Binary MPEG format for XML, BiM). The original standard specifies architecture, binary syntax, fragmentation/update payloads and optimized decoding mechanisms for XML content (notably for MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 uses); the corrigendum corrects errors and refines normative text to ensure interoperable encoder/decoder behaviour.

General information

• Status: Published corrigendum (applies to ISO/IEC 23001-1:2006).
• Publication date: 9 January 2007 (recorded in several catalogs; ISO lists the edition as 2007/Feb).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO) / IEC JTC 1, SC 29 (Coding of audio, picture, multimedia and hypermedia information).
• ICS / categories: 35.040.40 (Coding of audio, video, multimedia and hypermedia information).
• Edition / version: Edition 1.0 — Technical Corrigendum 1 (ISO/IEC 23001-1:2006/Cor 1:2007).
• Number of pages: 5 pages (corrigendum document).

Scope

The corrigendum corrects and clarifies portions of the normative text of ISO/IEC 23001-1:2006 without changing the fundamental scope of the original standard. The base standard defines a binary encoding for XML documents (BiM) intended to improve transmission and storage efficiency, including fragmentation, schema-knowledge mechanisms, decoder behaviour and optimized decoding techniques for simple and complex XML content. This corrigendum ensures those normative rules are accurate and unambiguous for implementers.

Key topics and requirements

• Corrections to normative clauses and editorial fixes that affect encoder/decoder interoperability.
• Clarifications to binary syntax and semantics for BiM access units and payloads.
• Guidance on schema-knowledge transmission and compilation to support decoding without prior schema knowledge.
• Refinements to fragmentation, update payload handling, and decoder behaviour expected for compliant implementations.
• Small editorial and technical corrections that do not introduce new features but improve clarity and conformance testing.

Typical use and users

Implementers of MPEG systems and related multimedia standards (e.g., MPEG‑7, MPEG‑21) who encode, transmit or decode XML information in constrained or bandwidth-sensitive environments; profile and conformance test developers; standards bodies and product teams integrating BiM into multimedia frameworks or file formats. Device, software and middleware vendors building interoperable XML compression and transport solutions will consult the corrigendum alongside the base standard.

Related standards

Main related documents include the parent standard ISO/IEC 23001-1:2006 (Binary MPEG format for XML), other corrigenda and amendments to that part (for example Cor 2:2007 and amendments issued in 2007–2008), and related MPEG system standards such as ISO/IEC 15938 (MPEG‑7) and ISO/IEC 21000‑16 (MPEG‑21 Binary Format), which may use BiM as an encoding mechanism. Users should consult the base part and listed amendments/corrigenda together.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is Technical Corrigendum 1 to ISO/IEC 23001-1:2006, providing corrections and clarifications to the Binary MPEG format for XML specification (BiM).

Q: What does it cover?

A: The corrigendum corrects normative text and clarifies requirements in the 2006 BiM specification—covering binary syntax, payload structure, fragmentation, schema-knowledge handling and decoder behaviour—so implementers have an unambiguous reference for interoperable implementations.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Multimedia standards implementers, codec and middleware vendors, test laboratories, and standards developers working with MPEG systems and XML compression (notably those integrating BiM into MPEG‑7 / MPEG‑21 workflows).

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The document is a published corrigendum to the 2006 edition and does not by itself supersede the base standard; it formally corrects ISO/IEC 23001-1:2006. Users should consult the base standard together with this corrigendum and any subsequent corrigenda or amendments to determine the current normative text. For lifecycle status see the parent standard's ISO record.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 1 of the ISO/IEC 23001 series (MPEG systems technologies) and belongs to the broader set of MPEG and related multimedia standards; this document is a corrigendum to that Part 1 publication.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: BiM (Binary MPEG format for XML), XML compression, MPEG systems, encoder/decoder, schema knowledge, fragmentation, corrigendum.
