The document discusses MetaBroadcast's URIplay project, which aims to help users find moving images across different sources and formats. It aggregates metadata to enable discovery and playback of content. URIplay currently supports sources like YouTube, Hulu, BBC and formats like RSS, JSON, and RDF/XML. The document outlines plans to add more sources and data, improve caching and indexing, and enable others to build apps using URIplay's capabilities or contribute additional content sources.
