DMIF was defined in MPEG-4 Part 6 (ISO/IEC 14496-6) in 1999.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_ics/catalogue_detail_ics.htm?csnumber=34418 | title=ISO/IEC 14496-6:2000 - Information technology -- Coding of audio-visual objects -- Part 6: Delivery Multimedia Integration Framework (DMIF) | author=ISO | publisher=ISO | accessdate=2010-08-01}}</ref> DMIF defines two interfaces: the DAI (DMIF/Application Interface) and the DNI (DMIF-Network Interface).<ref>{{cite web | url=http://mpeg.chiariglione.org/faq/mp4-dmi/mp4-dmi.htm | title=MPEG Systems (1-2-4-7) FAQ, Version 16.0 - Delivery Multimedia Integration Framework (DMIF) |year=2001 | author=MPEG | publisher=MPEG | accessdate=2010-08-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://mpeg.chiariglione.org/tutorials/papers/icj-mpeg4-si/06-DMIF_paper/6-DMIF_paper.htm |title=The Delivery Layer in MPEG-4 - G.
