Recently, the Internet is regarded as an important medium for media services owing to its popularity and profitability. Major broadcasting companies have been developing and refining their websites to deliver their programs individually. To satisfy user’s continuous and rapid requests for novel services, broadcasting companies should renovate their systems with service-ready architecture. In this paper, we describe a systematic and flexible architecture which collects contents (e.g. essence and metadata) automatically from production systems and serving the contents to various services properly. Employing standardized metadata and IDs in exchanging contents between systems, the proposed architecture could collect contents systematically. KBS standard of metadata and IDs have been achieved after two years of work. For a flexible supplying of contents to various services, we utilize open API. Open API which we define can be easily applied to websites, since it is designed over HTTP. Furthermore, users can generate novel services by mashing several service concepts using our open API. We developed a prototype system, called OASIS (Open Architecture for Systematic IP-based Service), realizing the proposed architecture. The system collects contents from KBS scheduling and play-out systems and supplies them to our prototype web browser implemented with our open API. While the open API is developed for PC, that could be applied to mobile device and Internet-connected TV. Also, the prototype browser can easily expand its service functions by adding functions of the open API. OASIS shows the usefulness of the proposed architecture.
