API for Media Resource 1.0 First Draft Published

The Media Annotations Working Group has published the First Public Working Draft of API for Media Resource 1.0. This specification defines a client-side API to access metadata information related to media resources on the Web. The overall purpose of the API is to provide developers with a convenient access to metadata information stored in different metadata formats. The API serves as a mediator between a developer and the underlying Ontology for Media Resource 1.0 with the goal to support interoperability between metadata formats. It offers GET and SET operations to retrieve and to store particular metadata informations represented in a certain metadata format related to media ressources on the Web.
