OVERVIEW

OpenMedia Mission

The mission of the OpenMedia project is to spur growth in programmatic marketplaces by providing open industry standards for communication between buyers of advertising and sellers of publisher inventory. There are several aspects to these standards including but not limited to real-time bidding, ad and creative management, information taxonomies, and many more.

Over recent years, multiple IAB standards have reached considerable levels of success in the industry. OpenMedia is the umbrella that pulls these standards into a coherent landscape and in doing so, it has become clear that there are many core concepts that are overlapping from these multiple specifications. This document presents a standard that formalizes these common concepts for reuse by other standards so that they can focus on their distinctiveness and practitioners can find it easier to build systems that use multiple aspects of OpenMedia.

AdCOM Executive Summary

One of the most successful IAB standards is OpenRTB. This protocol for conducting real-time auctions among sell-side exchanges and demand-side bidders first launched as OpenRTB v1.0 Mobile in February 2011. Later that year, OpenRTB v2.0 was released, which provided a unified protocol for mobile, display, and video. Due to widespread industry adoption, OpenRTB was established as an IAB standard in January 2012 with the release of version v2.1 although governance over technical content remained with the OpenRTB community. Since then and true to its initial objective, OpenRTB has become the lingua franca of real-time programmatic advertising and entered 2018 as v2.5.

During these years, programmatic advertising has become a dominant force in the industry. However, this has also led to an increasingly complex supply chain which may increase fraud rates and other risks. This is one of the key motivators driving OpenRTB v3.0 since the level of change needed to meet the challenges of programmatic currently and going forward could not be accomplished in a backward compatible manner (i.e., as an additional v2.x release).

Combined with the OpenMedia goal of rationalizing the IAB standards portfolio, this has led to a layered approach, where OpenRTB will focus on the actual media commerce transaction (e.g., auction parameters, deals, bids, etc.) while the concepts in common with other specifications (e.g., ads, placements, users, devices, sites, publishers, etc.) will be factored into its own reusable specification. Thus the genesis of the Advertising Common Object Model or AdCOM.

In addition to providing the modularity to benefit specifications in addition to OpenRTB, AdCOM seeks to address other business challenges of programmatic advertising. For example, publishers currently have limited ability to control the types of creatives they run on their properties due to the opaque nature in which traditional display ads are conveyed. Many types of undesirable creatives make their way to publisher content such as overly heavy payloads, those lacking of brand safety, excessive pixel fires, and JavaScript that launches malware.

These and other problematic behaviors result in poor and potentially damaging user experiences, diminished user trust, installation of ad blockers, erosion of publisher monetization, and the increased challenge for good actors on the advertiser side to reach their intended audience. AdCOM attempts to address these challenges by supporting new and safer structured ad formats.

Reusability by multiple IAB specifications positions AdCOM to leverage solutions such as this across a range of industry applications.

ARCHITECTURE

This section describes the OpenMedia specification landscape, the role AdCOM plays, its overall structure, and the principles that guide the usage and extensibility of the AdCOM specification.

OpenMedia Layers

To assist in reuse of objects across different specifications and to enable specifications to evolve at different paces, a layered approach is being adopted. Expressed informally, Layer-1 moves bytes among parties, Layer-2 expresses the language of these bytes, Layer-3 specifies a transaction using this language, and Layer-4 describes the concepts being transacted.

Given this layered concept, the IAB Tech Lab has defined an overall organization of related specifications as "OpenMedia". The landscape of these specifications and how they may be organized into protocol layers is illustrated as follows.

There are a number of objects that are common to multiple transaction specifications. For example, both OpenRTB and OpenDirect share a common concept of a “site”, a “placement”, an “ad”, and other so-called domain objects. These objects describe the subject of a transaction; those concepts upon which the transaction operates. Factoring them into their own model enables multiple transaction protocol specifications to reuse these common objects rather than each of them redefining similar but needlessly different versions of core concepts.

AdCOM Principles

The following points define the guiding principles underlying the AdCOM specification, some of its basic rules, and its evolution.

AdCOM is a living specification. New objects and attributes may be added and enumerated lists may be extended at any time and thus implementers must accept these types of changes without breakage within a version number. See Appendix E: Versioning Policy
Object and attribute names have been made intentionally compact while still trying to balance readability. The reason for this is that in applications like OpenRTB where JSON is still widely used, these names may be transmitted in plain text extremely frequently.
When using AdCOM, transaction specifications (e.g. OpenRTB) must indicate the version of AdCOM in use and specify where and how it interfaces with AdCOM objects.
AdCOM imposes no specific representation on its objects. This document uses JSON for illustration purposes, but this is not intended to imply any representational requirement or language binding.
All AdCOM objects may be extended as needed for vendor-specific applications. Extension fields for an AdCOM object must always be placed within a subordinate “ext” object. Most enumerated lists when indicated can also be extended to include vendor-specific codes typically starting at 500.
The typical process of promoting a new AdCOM object, attribute, or list value into future specification versions is either when a substantial concept is discovered that is applicable to multiple transaction specifications or when vendor-specific extensions become widely adopted.

REGULATORY GUIDANCE

AdCOM implementations are expected to ensure compliance on every transaction with all applicable regional legislation.

SPECIFICATION

This section contains the detailed AdCOM domain layer specification. Unless explicitly specified otherwise, annotated as optional, or called out as a best practice, all material aspects of this section are required for AdCOM compliance.

Throughout the object specifications, attributes may be indicated as “Required” or “Recommended”. Attributes are deemed required only if their omission would break the technical meaning of the object and is not necessarily an indicator of business value otherwise. Attributes are recommended when their omission would not break the object, but would dramatically diminish its value. Transaction layers in which AdCOM is used may provide additional required and/or recommended guidance specific to the application.

From a specification compliance perspective, any attribute not denoted required is optional, whether recommended or not. An optional attribute may have a default value to be assumed if omitted. If no default is indicated, then by convention its absence should be interpreted as unknown, unless otherwise specified. Empty strings or null values should be interpreted the same as omitted (i.e., the default if one is specified or unknown otherwise).

AdCOM is a collection of object classes with various relationships among them. However, there are distinct groups into which these classes are partitioned. The figure below identifies these groups as Media, Placement, and Context. This is purely a means of organization; no technical distinctions or restrictions are implied.

The Media group comprises objects that define an actual ad, including reference to its creative and metadata to enable proper rendering, restrictions compliance, event tracking, and quality auditing.

The Placement group comprises objects that define the set of allowed ads and behaviors for a given placement. This might include mechanical information (e.g., sizes, supported mime types, and other rendering options), placement details and positioning, and various restrictions lists.

Finally, the Context group comprises objects that represent concepts that are interacting, presenting, enclosing, or are otherwise relating to the world in which impressions live. These include the user, their device, their location, the ad distribution channel (e.g., site, app, digital out-of-home) with which they are interacting, the channel's publisher, its content, and any regulations that are in effect.

Note: As a convention in this document, objects being defined are denoted with uppercase first letter in deference to the common convention for class names in programming languages such as Java, whereas actual instances of objects and references thereto are lowercase.

Media Objects

The Media group of objects defines an actual ad including reference to its creative and metadata to enable proper rendering, restrictions compliance, event tracking, and quality auditing.

The following figure presents the objects and interrelationships in this group. The objects are defined in the subsections thereafter.

Object: Ad

This object is the root of a structure that defines in instance of advertising media. It includes metadata about the ad overall and sub-objects that provide additional detail specific to the type of media comprising the creative.

Attribute	Type	Definition
`id`	string; required	ID of the creative; unique at least throughout the scope of a vendor (e.g., an exchange or buying platform). Note that multiple instances of the same ad when used in transactions must have the same ID.
`adomain`	string array; recommended	Advertiser domain; top two levels only (e.g., “ford.com”). This can be an array for the case of rotating creatives.
`bundle`	string array	When the product of the ad is an app, the unique ID of that app as a bundle or package name (e.g., “com.foo.mygame”). This should NOT be an app store ID (e.g., no iTunes store IDs). This can be an array of for the case of rotating creatives.
`iurl`	string	URL without cache-busting to an image that is representative of the ad content for cursory level ad quality checking.
`cat`	string array	Array of content categories describing the ad using IDs from the taxonomy indicated in `cattax`. Implementer should ensure compliance with regional legislation around data usage and sharing.

4	Header
5	Footer
6	Sidebar
7	Fullscreen

List: Placement Subtypes - Video

The following table lists the various types of video placements derived largely from the IAB Digital Video Guidelines. To be sent using placement attribute in Object:Video. DEPRECATED AS OF 2.6-202303 RELEASE. Proposed removal of this list and associated attribute in 2024.

Value	Definition
1	In-Stream: Played before, during or after the streaming video content that the consumer has requested (e.g., Pre-roll, Mid-roll, Post-roll).
2	In-Banner: Exists within a web banner that leverages the banner space to deliver a video experience as opposed to another static or rich media format. The format relies on the existence of display ad inventory on the page for its delivery.
3	In-Article: Loads and plays dynamically between paragraphs of editorial content; existing as a standalone branded message.
4	In-Feed: Found in content, social, or product feeds.
5	Interstitial/Slider/Floating: Covers the entire or a portion of screen area, but is always on screen while displayed (i.e. cannot be scrolled out of view).

List: Plcmt Subtypes - Video

The following table lists the various types of video placements in accordance with updated IAB Digital Video Guidelines. To be sent using plcmt attribute in Object:Video. Please refer to the implementation guide for examples and information on how to use the updated signals.

Value	Definition
1	Instream: Pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads that are played before, during or after the streaming video content that the consumer has requested. Instream video must be set to “sound on” by default at player start, or have explicitly clear user intent to watch the video content. While there may be other content surrounding the player, the video content must be the focus of the user’s visit. It should remain the primary content on the page and the only video player in-view capable of audio when playing. If the player converts to floating/sticky subsequent ad calls should accurately convey the updated player size.
2	Accompanying Content: Pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads that are played before, during, or after streaming video content. The video player loads and plays before, between, or after paragraphs of text or graphical content, and starts playing only when it enters the viewport. Accompanying content should only start playback upon entering the viewport. It may convert to a floating/sticky player as it scrolls off the page.
3	Interstitial:Video ads that are played without video content. During playback, it must be the primary focus of the page and take up the majority of the viewport and cannot be scrolled out of view. This can be in placements like in-app video or slideshows.
4	No Content/Standalone: Video ads that are played without streaming video content. This can be in placements like slideshows, native feeds, in-content or sticky/floating.

List: Playback Cessation Modes

The following table lists the various modes for when media playback terminates.

Value	Definition

Appendix C: OpenRTB Interfaces

As OpenRTB v3.0+ is a very popular transaction layer that uses AdCOM, this appendix is provided to show the interface between the two specifications. This is presented here as informational only; please refer to the current OpenRTB specification v3.0+ for official details on OpenRTB.

In the JSON snippets that follow, AdCOM objects are shown within OpenRTB payloads. The ellipses indicate attributes unrelated to this example that have been omitted for brevity.

Request Context

The following is an abbreviated example of an OpenRTB v3.x bid request. It self-identifies as OpenRTB and shows its version as “3.0”. It also shows that it is using AdCOM v1.0 as its domain layer.

The context object is the OpenRTB interface to AdCOM context objects. It can contain any of the top-level context objects, all of which are optional, and their subordinates. This example includes top-level objects regs, restrictions, site (no more than one distribution channel subtype may be included), user, and device.

This example is indicating a mobile optimized website and some basic details about the site and its publisher. The user is a female born in 1990. She is using an Apple iPhone 6S, running iOS 11.4.1, and is connected via the Verizon network. Her device (and presumably she) is currently located in Boston MA, USA, during eastern standard time. She is not subject to GDPR or COPPA. We would also like to block adult, illegal, and uncategorized content as well as ads from car makers Ford and Buick.

Item Specifications

The following snippet is an abbreviated OpenRTB v3.x bid request that offers a single item for sale.

The spec object within an item is the OpenRTB interface to AdCOM placement objects. It contains one Placement top-level object and its subordinates.

This example is indicating a display placement that must be secure. Either a structured banner or AMPHTML is acceptable and if the latter, the AMP rendering mode will be early. The placement is not interstitial, two possible sizes are offered (i.e., 320x50 and 320x250), and a simple pixel tracker for the impression event is supported.

Media Response

The following is an abbreviated example of an OpenRTB v3.x bid response. It self-identifies as OpenRTB and shows its version as “3.0”. It also shows that it is using AdCOM v1.0 as its domain layer.

The media object is the OpenRTB interface to AdCOM media objects. It contains one Ad top-level object and its subordinates.

This example is indicating a secure display ad for Ford using a structured banner object with a 320x50 JPEG creative. A pixel tracker for the impression rendering event is requested.

Appendix D: Errata

This appendix catalogues any error corrections which have been made to this document after its versioned release. The body of the document has been updated accordingly.

Only minor fixes, such as clarifications or corrections to descriptions, may be treated as errata. Improvements or material changes are summarized in the change log.

Granular details of the changes can be seen by reviewing the commit history of the document.

Clarification: mccmnc description and rwdd description for clarity. (2022/03/25)

Change of terminology: References to "whitelist" have been changed to "allow list" consistent with industry norms. (2021/05/11)

Language improvements: Word choice has been improved in places for clarity. (2020/02/14)

Description of "w" and "h" fields in VideoPlacement object: The description of the "w" and "h" fields has been corrected to read "[Width/Height] of the placement...." The size of the video player placement generally does not have a direct bearing on what creative assets may be served to it. (2018/12/12)

Clarification of event types: The Event Types list has been adjusted to clarify which event measurement scripts should be attached to (generally, "loaded") as well as clarifying the definition of "loaded" and "impression". (2018/12/12)

Appendix E: Versioning Policy

The current version of the AdCOM specification is updated approximately once a month if there are non-breaking improvements to be released such as new fields, objects, or values in enumerated lists. Errata, such as clarifications or corrections to descriptions not materially impacting the specification itself, are also addressed during monthly updates. See Errata.

AdCOM's version number is only incremented on breaking changes. In other words, AdCOM 1.1 should be considered a distinct version from AdCOM 1.0 where there is a need for distinguishing versions; for example, when parsing an OpenRTB bid request and interpreting the "domainver" field. See AdCOM Principles.

Release branches are created for each monthly release and the history of these can be reviewed on GitHub. The master branch for the repository will always reflect the most recent release, whereas ongoing development work occurs in the 'develop' branch.
