Processing workflow APIs #29

Open tidoust opened 2 years ago

tidoust commented 2 years ago

Lots of components that need to be swappable, e.g. storage and media processing, and that would benefit from having a common interface as a result. How does that relate with initiatives such as NMOS?

NMOS is wider but at the same time is a more granular. It can be adopted under the hood to cover some of the use cases such as network control, authorisation, etc. But what we propose here is a higher level interface where the API will include methods such as Transcode, Analyze, Quality Control, etc. That can be specified in an abstract way with Operation IDs + parameters dependant on each operation.
