Last Call: Ontology for Media Resources 1.0

The Media Annotations Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft of Ontology for Media Resources 1.0. This ontology (vocabulary) bridges the different descriptions of media resources, and provide a core set of descriptive properties. This document defines a core set of metadata properties for media resources, along with their mappings to elements from a set of existing metadata formats. Besides that, the document presents a Semantic Web compatible implementation of the abstract ontology using RDF/OWL. The document is mostly targeted towards media resources available on the Web, as opposed to media resources that are only accessible in local archives or museums. Comments are welcome through 31 March. Learn more about the Video in the Web Activity.
