Resolution 2 Modifications to the Programme of Work
SC 29 approves the following modifications to its current Programme of Work, and instructs its Secretariat to submit them, including the level of SC 29 NB support and rationale, to JTC 1 for endorsement:
SC 29 NB Support: Australia, Canada, China, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Rep of Korea, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, US
Rationale: This new work item is intended to provide changes to JPEG Part 3, ISO/IEC 10918-3, such that it can support the following:
(1) inclusion of new compression types in SPIFF, and (2) support for new version numbers as header parameter values change. These amendments to the SPIFF standard are in consonance with the ISO/IEC DIS 10918-4.2, Information Technology; Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous-Tone Still Images: Part 4; Registration Procedures for JPEG Profile, APPn Marker, and SPIFF Profile ID Marker.
This amendment will facilitate the support of new compression algorithms, such as JPEG-LS, and, in the future, JPEG 2000, by SPIFF, via the registration mechanism defined in JPEG Part 4. This will minimize the need to amend the ISO/IEC 10918-3 standard each time a new compression type is created. This is also the case for changes to versions of SPIFF, as well as changes to parameter values.

Resolution 18 Source Code IPR Guideline Request
Recognizing that SC 29 and its WGs are not able to offer legal advice to their participants on the following matters:
SC 29 requests that JTC 1 and/or ISO and IEC urgently (within 60 days upon receipt of this resolution) provide SC 29 with example text and implementation guidelines that can be used by IP providers to satisfy the following two requirements:
1. Source code associated with "Reference Software" as exemplified by ISO/IEC 14496-5 (MPEG-4 Part 5). This specification is being provided in the form of Source Code as part of the International Standard. The source code, in some cases, is being developed in a non-collaborative manner and provided by those organizations who are part of the development process as opposed to the text of the specification which is developed on a collaborative basis. It is not practical (or desired) that each organization retain the copyright associated with source code. Thus the copyright needs to be transferred to ISO and IEC who also owns the textual copyright to the specification as exemplified in parts 1, 2, and 3 of ISO/IEC 14496 (MPEG-4).
2. Test cases material is provided in several forms. These include:
approval: Australia,
China, Finland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Rep of Korea, Portugal,
Sweden, Switzerland, UK, US (13)
disapproval: (0)
abstention: Canada, Germany (2)
Resolution 19 Electronic Media Integrity
SC 29 notes that ISO/IEC ITTF is publishing an increasing number of International Standards which include software/data on machine readable media (e.g. 3 1/2 disks).
SC 29 considers it is necessary to establish a method for determining the authenticity and integrity of this included software/data. To this end SC 29 requests that the ITTF devise a robust mechanism for this purpose.
For example, a list of the file names and their sizes could be provided as a minimum. In addition a message hash function such as MD5 could be applied to the electronic media, Irrespective of the method used, the user should be instructed in how to check the validity and integrity of the software.
unanimous
Resolution 20 Nomination of JTC 1 Representative to ISO/IEC JTAG 2
SC 29 requests JTC 1 to nominate Dr. Scott Foshee, US, as an additional JTC 1 representative to ISO/IEC JTAG 2.

SC 29 notes the concerns of JTC 1 on the expanding scope of IEC TC 100 which were raised at the eleventh JTC 1 plenary meeting, 1997-09-09/12, Ottawa, Canada, and the subsequent reaction by the IEC Committee of Action (CA) at its meeting, 1997-10-21, New Delhi, India, in Decisions CA/DELHI 26/97 and CA/DELHI 27/97 (ref. IEC 01[Delhi/Central Office]15, 1997-10-24).
SC 29 strongly encourages JTC 1 to accept the invitation of IEC/CA to meet and discuss with IEC TC 100, any overlap which may exist between those two committees and report back to the CA with its specific concerns by February 1998, and to appoint the Chairman of SC 29, the Convener of SC 29/AGM and the SC 29 liaison representative to IEC TC 100 as a part of the JTC 1 delegation to this meeting.

unanimous
Resolution 23 IEC TC 100 Project Team 61998
Noting the project under development by IEC TC 100/Project Team 61998, Model and framework for standardization in multimedia equipment, SC 29 recommends to JTC 1 that IEC TC 100 be encouraged to develop 61998 as a Technical Report (TR), rather than as an International Standard (IS).
This TR should be developed in cooperation with and agreement of JTC 1 and other standards organizations which would be impacted by any acceptance of such a broad-based document.

Resolution 32 Category C Liaison between World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and SC 29/WG 1
SC 29 expresses its concern that while the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has moved forward with SC 24 to standardize its Portable Network Graphics (PNG) as an ISO/IEC International Standard, it has not answered SC 29's request to establish liaison between SC 29/WG 1 and W3C. The request was sent dated August 19, 1996.
In particular, the JPEG-LS standard that has been developed by SC 29/WG 1 in Project JTC 1.29.12.01, ISO/IEC DIS 14495-1, "Lossless and Near-Lossless Compression of Continuous-tone Images", achieves significant improvement over PNG in lossless compression for WG 1 test images (of the order of 15% for lossless compression) as well as offering additional near-lossless modes. It is important that such results be communicated to the appropriate group in W3C with the objective that collaboration will be developed to produce the best image coding standard for the Internet and World Wide Web applications.
SC 29 approves a letter of request for liaison to W3C as contained in SC 29 N 2340, and instructs its Secretariat to send it to W3C with a copy to the Chairman of SC 24.
