This metadata is designed to support cable set-top terminals which function asservers of ¿commercial video services¿ (CVS) into the home network, by providing preformatted XML-based EAdata required by such Digital Media Servers (DMS) in the home. The container, specified as being in the form of anANSI J-STD-042-A [2] descriptor, is defined only for carriage within the emergency alert signaling messagedefined in ANSI J-STD-042-A [2]. The metadata carried in the descriptor includes metadata elements conforming toANSI J-STD-070 [1], which is the standard delivery format for XML-formatted EA data in the home network.
