One of MPEG’s (Moving Pictures Experts Group) responses to UMA is MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation (DIA). In this paper we present how tools as specified within DIA (i.e., normative XML-based description formats) are applied in streaming and constrained environments enabling piece-wise multimedia content adaptation including the adaptation decision- taking process and the actual resource adaptation in a coding format-independent way. Additionally, we demonstrate how the metadata overhead imposed by DIA tools can be reduced by means of appropriate metadata encoding tools.}, issn = {283990067X}, language = {EN}, pdf = {https://www.itec.aau.at/bib/files/TR_Piece-wiseMultimediaContentAdaptationInStreamingAndConstrainedEnvironments_Apr2005.pdf}, talktype = {none} }
