| Priority | mandatory |
| Description | The SPICE platform MUST make use of well-defined languages to semantically describe the properties of multimedia content and the resources they require from receivers. These languages should be based on an open description language such as XML. One appropriate candidate is the W3C standard SMIL, specially SMIL Mobile and Extended Mobile Profiles. In relation to interactive presentations and graphics within presentations, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an appropriate candidate. |
| Rationale | Well-defined description languages increase the platform's level of interoperability and efficiency. |
