Minimal SI Information

[Mike Pilone]

What is the minimal set of SI information to make a valid/useful SI file? We're exploring a project "logo" to generate the minimum viable SI information for the stations we distribute to and I want to make sure I understand the most basic use case. From the schema point of view both the serviceProvider and service elements are 0 or more so that doesn't make it clear. My understanding is:

- serviceProvider

-- shortName

-- mediumName

- service

-- shortName

-- mediumName

-- genre

-- mediaDescription/multimedia (5 logos in IP delivery)

Anything else I missed?

Thanks,

-mike

Hi Mike,

Bearer Information for FM, DAB and IP would also be helpful to do DAB-Online and FM-Online linking. Besides Logos this is the main Hybrid Radio functionality

Hi Mike,

As Christian says bearer information is very important.

Without it a radio device reading the SI will not know how to link the metadata to stations in its own reception list - it would just be an abstract list of services.

Thanks for the feedback, so it sounds like the minimal set would be:

- serviceProvider

-- shortName

-- mediumName

- service

-- shortName

-- mediumName

-- genre(s)

-- mediaDescription/multimedia (5 logos in IP delivery)

-- bearer(s)

Hello,

The BBC implemented a fairly minimal set of the Service Information feature set:

I think the only non-manditory thing (for Project Logo) is the homepage link.
