The Eureka-147 Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) standard defines the 'dynamic labels' data field for holding information about the transmission content. However, this information does not follow a well-defined structure since it is designed to carry text for direct output to displays, for human interpretation. This poses a problem when machine interpretation of DAB content information is desired. Extensible Markup Language (XML) was developed to allow for the well-defined, structured machine-to-machine exchange of data over computer networks. This article proposes a novel technique of machine-interpretable DAB content annotation and receiver hardware control, involving the utilisation of XML as metadata in the transmitted DAB frames.
