基于网络的媒体处理（NBMP）框架定义了通过数字网络连接用于媒体处理的实体之间的接口，包括数据格式和应用程序编程接口（API）。用户可以远程访问和配置其操作，以实现高效、智能的处理。本文档描述并管理应用于媒体数据的工作流。该过程包括将媒体数据上传到网络、媒体处理任务的实例化以及任务的配置。该框架支持动态创建媒体处理管道，以及实时访问已处理的媒体数据和元数据- 时间或以延迟的方式。还指定了媒体处理管道中的媒体源、工作流管理器和媒体处理实体之间使用的媒体和元数据格式。

The network-based media processing (NBMP) framework defines the interfaces including both data formats and application programming interfaces (APIs) among the entities connected through digital networks for media processing. Users can access and configure their operations remotely for efficient, intelligent processing. This document describes and manages workflows to be applied to the media data. This process includes uploading of media data to the network, instantiation of the media processing tasks, and configuration of the tasks. The framework enables dynamic creation of media processing pipelines, as well as access to processed media data and metadata in real-time or in a deferred way. The media and metadata formats used between the media source, workflow manager and media processing entities in a media processing pipeline are also specified.
