An Item is a Data Type specified by MMM-TEC or other MPAI Technical Specifications for use in an M-Instance. All Items used by MMM-TEC V2.0 are listed in Table 1.
An Item may be produced:
- By the activity of a Process, e.g., by sensing Media and producing Data, Qualifier, and Rights from the Universe.
- As a result of a request made by a human through a Process of that human or directly to the M-Instance.
MMM-TEC V2.0 specifies or references from other MPAI Technical Specifications a large number of Items. The specification of each Item includes Definition, Functional Requirements, JSON Schema and Semantics.
An Item may optionally include:
- Data Qualifier signalling the relevant characteristics or technologies of a Data Type.
- Rights that are exercised by certain Processes on an Item at certain M- or U-Locations and at certain Times.
The Table above includes Media-independent Object, Scene, Geometry, and Event. MMM-TEC V2.0 references their MPAI-OSD V1.3 specified Media-dependent Object, Scene, Geometry, and Event.
