ISO/IEC 23006-4:2013规定了一组基本服务和协议，使分布式应用程序能够交换与内容项及其部分相关的信息，包括对MPEG相关实体的所有必要操作:内容、合同、设备、事件、许可证、服务和用户。这些操作定义如下:身份验证、授权、检查、创建、交付、描述、标识、安装、交互、协商、打包、发布、呈现、处理、请求、吊销、搜索、存储、事务处理、卸载和验证。基本服务可以按定义良好的顺序组合以构建聚合服务，这两种服务在通用多媒体服务中都被调用。 ISO/IEC 23006（所有部分）在文本中将简称为MPEG-M。多媒体服务由MSPT生态系统中的多媒体设备提供并由其消费，其示例是高级IPTV终端。

ISO/IEC 23006-4:2013 specifies a set of Elementary Services and protocols enabling distributed applications to exchange information related to content items and parts thereof, including all the necessary Operations on MPEG-related Entities: Content, Contract, Device, Event, License, Service and User. These operations are defined to be the following: Authenticate, Authorize, Check With, Create, Deliver, Describe, Identify, Install, Interact With, Negotiate, Package, Post, Present, Process, Request, Revoke, Search, Store, Transact, Uninstall and Verify. Elementary Services can be combined in well defined sequences to build Aggregated Services, both of them being called in general Multimedia Services. ISO/IEC 23006 (all parts) will be referred to as MPEG-M for short in the text. The Multimedia Services are provided by and consumed by Multimedia Devices in a MSPT ecosystem, an example of which is the Advanced IPTV Terminal.
