FIGURE B-1

Structure of a Content Package

Note –

If your content consists of a single bit stream, you do not need an index file.

You content package will consist of only a Table of Contents file and the single bit
stream.

B.2

The TOC File

The Table of Contents (TOC) file is an ASCII file that contains:

a list of all of the bit streams in the content package;

the individual data and index files that make up these bit streams;

relevant attributes of these bit streams.

The structure of the TOC file is specified using the Abstract Syntax Notation One
(ASN.1). ASN.1 is a standardized way for describing structured information. See
Section B.8 “References” on page B-18 for the standards that specify ASN.1.
