iTV content is created and deployed using a server component adapted to allow content developers to create applications according to an authoring specification that describes a framework for same; a transport component configured to optimize and deliver the applications to one or more clients; and a client component adapted to render the applications through a television so as to permit user interaction therewith. The authoring specification provides for the presentation of content through one or more templates defined therein, allowing application definition and behavior to remain common across multiple client device types, middleware platforms, and/or iTV operating environments. The framework for applications accommodates advertising, promotions, content placement packages and/or programming campaign definitions, so as to permit a selection of a specific advertisement, promotion or content at a time of preparation of the iTV content by the server, and/or a time of execution of the applications by the client.

1. A method, comprising: generating, in accordance with a) an application layout file specifying a layout for an application and b) one or more descriptors directing that one or more queries for content from one or more dynamic data feeds be performed when generating the application, a package of files to execute the application and that separates the layout for the application from content populating the layout for the application into different files;querying for the content from the one or more dynamic data feeds using the one or more descriptors; andtransmitting, by a computing device, the package of files to one or more client devices. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the application layout file comprises an extensible markup language (XML) authored layout file, and wherein the one or more descriptors comprise one or more XML authored descriptors. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the application comprises at least one of the following: an interactive program guide, a television menu, a television content service, a virtual channel, a video on demand application, a personal video recorder application, a broadcast on demand application, an enhanced television services application, a television services help application, a television services customer support application, a television services self-service application, or a television services data service application. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the transmitting comprises using at least one of a broadcast carousel or a two-way back channel. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the package of files configures the application to respond in a user-specific manner to user interactions with the application. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein a different descriptor directs a query for a specific advertisement, which is to be placed in the layout of the application, at a time of execution of the application by a client device. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the application layout file and the one or more descriptors form a part of an extensible markup language (XML) schema that provides a common model for at least one of the following: provisioning, managing, deploying, advertising, commerce, layout, animation, events and navigation, dynamic data insertion, or optimization of the application across different operating environments. 8. An apparatus, comprising: a server configured to:generate, in accordance with a) an application layout file specifying a layout for an application and b) one or more descriptors directing that one or more queries for content from one or more dynamic data feeds be performed when generating the application, a package of files to execute the application and that separates the layout for the application from content populating the layout for the application into different files;query for the content from the one or more dynamic data feeds using the one or more descriptors; andtransmit the package of files to one or more client devices. 9. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the application layout file comprises an extensible markup language (XML) authored layout file, and wherein the one or more descriptors comprise one or more XML authored descriptors. 10. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the application comprises at least one of the following: an interactive program guide, a television menu, a television content service, a virtual channel, a video on demand application, a personal video recorder application, a broadcast on demand application, an enhanced television services application, a television services help application, a television services customer support application, a television services self-service application, or a television services data service application. 11. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the transmitting comprises using at least one of a broadcast carousel or a two-way back channel. 12. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the package of files configures the application to respond in a user-specific manner to user interactions with the application. 13. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein a different descriptor directs a query for a specific advertisement, which is to be placed in the layout of the application, at a time of execution of the application by a client device. 14. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the application layout file and the one or more descriptors form a part of an extensible markup language (XML) schema that provides a common model for at least one of the following: provisioning, managing, deploying, advertising, commerce, layout, animation, events and navigation, dynamic data insertion, or optimization of the application across different operating environments. 15. One or more non-transitory computer readable media, storing executable code configured to, when executed, cause an apparatus to: generate, in accordance with a) an application layout file specifying a layout for an application and b) one or more descriptors directing that one or more queries for content from one or more dynamic data feeds be performed when generating the application, a package of files to execute the application and that separates the layout for the application from content populating the layout for the application into different files;query for the content from the one or more dynamic data feeds using the one or more descriptors; andtransmit the package of files to one or more client devices. 16. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 15 wherein the application layout file comprises an extensible markup language (XML) authored layout file, and wherein the one or more descriptors comprise one or more XML authored descriptors. 17. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 15 wherein the application comprises at least one of the following: an interactive program guide, a television menu, a television content service, a virtual channel, a video on demand application, a personal video recorder application, a broadcast on demand application, an enhanced television services application, a television services help application, a television services customer support application, a television services self-service application, or a television services data service application. 18. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 15 wherein the transmitting comprises using at least one of a broadcast carousel or a two-way back channel. 19. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 15 wherein a different descriptor directs a query for a specific advertisement, which is to be placed in the layout of the application, at a time of execution of the application by a client device. 20. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 15 wherein the application layout file and the one or more descriptors form a part of an extensible markup language (XML) schema that provides a common model for at least one of the following: provisioning, managing, deploying, advertising, commerce, layout, animation, events and navigation, dynamic data insertion, or optimization of the application across different operating environments. 21. The method of claim 1, further comprising: placing references to the content from the dynamic data feeds into a formatted file, wherein the references result from the querying for the content from the dynamic data feeds using the one or more descriptors;producing, based on the formatted file, a binary formatted file that specifies the content populating the layout for the application;wherein transmitting the package of files comprises transmitting the binary formatted file and a different binary formatted file that specifies the layout for the application.
