Summary

This Recommendation specifies the Application Programming Interface (API) for the manipulation of multimedia and hypermedia information objects.

MHEG part 5 (Recommendation T.172) is a standard, which specifies the coded representation of interchanged multimedia/hypermedia information objects (MHEG‑5 objects) for base‑level applications. These so-called MHEG‑5 objects are handled, interpreted and presented by MHEG‑5 engines.
