MetaService 1.0 : Home
The Companywebcast MetaService is a secure web service that allows clients to find webcasts and retrieve their meta data, binaries and media streams. ((('''MetaService 1.1 released!'''{BR} Read about the new service, which includes new features and some changes to the data model, [MetaService_1.1_Home|here]. MetaService 1.0 will remain available.))) Essentially the meta data describes in as much detail as available the "events" as they occurred in real time, ''at'' the time of the live webcast. So for example, the meta data for any given webcast might contain a list of Speakers that were active during the webcast. For every Speaker the meta data will then contain a list of "Events", where the Event's Start and End time describe when the Speaker was active. The meta data also contains links to relevant binaries like media streams, mp3's and PowerPoint slides, and we provide mechanisms for downloading them, or publishing them directly within the context of your own application. You can use the meta data, binaries and streams for many different things, here are some examples: *Include a list of upcoming webcasts in your website *Add a list of video fragments to speaker's homepages *Build a front end for WebcastSearch and let users search through your webcasts *Retrieve metadata and binaries for your archive or integration with existing data/indexing/search solutions *Create your own playback experience with full synchronization of slides, speakers, annotations and topics *Dynamically create compilations of fragments based on topics or speakers We recommend you take a look at the following pages: * [MetaService_1.0_GettingStarted|Getting started] * [MetaService_1.0_CreatingAClient|Creating a client] * [MetaService_1.0_InputParameters|Parameters sent to the MetaService] * [MetaService_1.0_ResponseData|Data returned by the MetaService] * [MetaService_1.0_WebcastSecurityModel|Understanding Webcast security] Contact us with your feedback, or if you need any kind of support.
