Class Profiles for the Current and Emerging NII
Overview Networked multimedia applications are a proliferating new feature of the emerging National Information Infrastructure (NII). Such applications employ a variety of information technologies and services to make motion and still pictures, richly formatted text and hypertext, sound and data available to information appliances over networks. The results are new, attractive communications capabilities which are valued by end-users. For maximum user acceptance, the capabilities of information appliances and the communications services that interconnect them must be well matched to specific applications for multimedia features to work well. The Cross-Industry Working Team (XIWT) member companies have delineated a set of core capabilities needed to support effective networked multimedia applications. Using these capabilities as a guide, five NII Class designations or profiles are proposed. The NII Class Profiles are intended to associate information appliance and communications services capabilities with applications requirements.
