<h2><a name="abstract" id="abstract"></a>Abstract</h2>

<p>This document defines the Ontology for Media Resource 1.0, a core vocabulary
to describe media resources on the Web. It is defined based on a common set of
properties which covers basic metadata to describe media resources. Further it
defines semantics-preserving mappings between elements from existing formats.
The ontology is supposed to foster the interoperability among various kinds of
metadata formats currently used to describe media resources on the Web.</p>

<h2><a name="introduction" id="introduction"></a>1 Introduction</h2>

<p><em>This section is informative.</em></p>

<p>This document introduces the Ontology for Media Resource 1.0, a core
vocabulary to describe <a title="media resource" href="#media-resource">media
resources</a>, mostly targeted to media resources on the Web. It is defined
based on a common set of <a title="property" href="#property">properties</a>
which covers basic metadata to describe <a title="media resource"
href="#media-resource">media resources</a>. For example <em>creator</em> is a
common property that is supported in several existing metadata formats, and is
therefore part of the core vocabulary defined by the Ontology. Further, the
Ontology defines mappings between elements from existing formats and our list
of properties. Ideally, the mappings should be semantics-preserving, but this
is not achieved with the first version of the Ontology (Media Ontology 1.0),
because of the difference in nature of the properties in the mapped
vocabularies their extension is not exactly overlapping. For example the <a
title="property" href="#property">property</a><em>dc:creator </em> from
<cite><a href="#dc">Dublin Core</a></cite> and the <a title="property"
href="#property">property</a><em>exif:Artist </em> defined in <cite><a
href="#exif">EXIF</a></cite> are both mapped to the property <em>creator</em>
of our Ontology, but the extension of the property in the exif vocabulary (the
set of values that the property can refer to) is more specific than the one of
Dublin Core. Mapping back and forth with our ontology as reference will hence
induce a certain loss of semantics. This is inevitable if we want to achieve a
certain amount of interoperability. </p>

<p>The Ontology, with the properties definition and mappings, provides the
basic information needed by targeted applications (see <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-media-annot-reqs-20090119/">Use Cases and
Requirements for Ontology and API for Media Object 1.0</a>) for supporting the
interoperability among the various kinds of metadata formats related to <a
title="media resource" href="#media-resource">media resources</a>, and
particularly media resources on the Web. In addition, the ontology will be
accompanied by an API that provides uniform access to all elements defined by
the ontology. </p>

<p>The initial version of this document contains only a limited set of
properties with their corresponding mappings to the vocabularies listed in
section <a href="#formats-in-scope"><b>1.2 Formats in scope</b></a>.
Nevertheless it is being published with the aspiration to gather wide feedback
on the general direction of the Working Group. In particular we would like to
encourage feedback on section <a href="#property-definition"><b>4 Property
definition</b></a>.</p>

<h3><a name="purpose" id="purpose"></a>1.1 Purpose of this specification</h3>

<p>This specification defines an ontology for cross-community data integration
of information related to <a title="media resource"
href="#media-resource">media resources</a>, with a particular focus on media
resources on the Web. The purpose of the ontology is to help circumventing the
current proliferation of video metadata formats by providing full or partial
translation and <a title="mapping" href="#mapping">mapping</a> towards existing
formats. </p>
</div>

<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="formats-in-scope" id="formats-in-scope"></a>1.2 Formats in
scope</h3>

<p>The following table lists the formats that were selected by the working
group as in-scope, along with the identifiers which are used as prefixes to
identify them in this specification.</p>

<div class="note">
<p class="prefix"><b>Note:</b></p>

<p>This specification is based on a review of existing formats and the <a
title="property" href="#property">properties</a> they provide. This review does
not aim to be complete, and this specification does not aim to cover all
properties defined in these formats. The choice of properties is motivated by
their wide usage.</p>

      retrievable or not. Hence, this term encompasses the abstract notion of a

      (e.g. the MPEG-4 encoding of Notting Hill on my DVD), or any intermediate
      levels of abstraction (e.g. the director's cut or the plane version of

<p>As a first step to build the Media ontology, a set of commonly supported
properties by the aforementioned vocabularies has been listed. This list,
henceforth referred to as "Core Media Properties list", is the basis for
vocabularies matching. Its namespace is "ma", for Media Annotation. We provide
a first set of mapping propositions between the vocabularies taken into account
and this list. These mappings have double nature: semantic and syntactic. </p>

<h5><a name="semantic-level-mappings" id="semantic-level-mappings"></a>4.2.1.1
Semantic Level Mappings</h5>

<p>The mappings are "one way" so far, i.e. the semantics is of a relationship
between one or more items from the vocabulary considered and one or more
property from our list. For example, in <cite><a href="#xmp">XMP</a></cite>,
both <em>xmpDM:copyright</em> and <em>dc:rights</em> (as part of the XMP
standard) are mapped to <em>ma:copyright</em>; in <cite><a
href="#exif">EXIF</a></cite>, the Copyright property is mapped to
<em>ma:copyright</em>. No semantic relationships can be inferred between the
properties in <cite><a href="#xmp">XMP</a></cite> and in <cite><a
href="#exif">EXIF</a></cite> from these mappings. This "Core Media Properties
list" can be considered as the minimal requirement for describing media
content. The mappings that have been taken into account have different
semantics: the properties of the different vocabularies can be </p>
<ul>
  <li><p>Exact matches: the semantics of the two properties are equivalent in
    most of the possible contexts. For example, <em>ma:title</em> matches
    exactly <em>vra:title</em>.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>More specific: the property of the vocabulary taken into account has a
    semantic that takes into account only a subset of the possibilities
    expressed by the property defined in this Working Group. For example in
    <cite><a href="#dig35">DIG35</a></cite>, <em>ipr_names@description</em> and
    <em>ipr_person@description</em> are more specific than the property
    <em>ma:publisher</em> to which it is mapped.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>More generic: the inverse of the above, the property of the vocabulary
    taken into account has a semantic that is broader than the property defined
    in this Working Group. For example, the <cite><a
    href="#dig35">DIG35</a></cite><em>location</em> is more general than the
    <em>ma:location</em>.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Related: the two properties are related in a way that is relevant for
    some use cases, but this relation has no defined semantics. For example, in
    <cite><a href="#mediarss">Media RSS</a></cite>, <em>media:credit</em> is
    related to <em>ma:creator</em>.</p>
  </li>
</ul>
This list of relations between vocabularies (or informal mappings) and the
"Core Media Properties list" is published as a table; its purpose is to get
feedback from the communities that are currently using the different
vocabularies: the people or companies actually using the different vocabularies
could proof-read our interpretation of the vocabularies and comment on the
proposed mappings. </div>

<h5><a name="syntactic-level-mappings"
id="syntactic-level-mappings"></a>4.2.1.2 Syntactic Level Mappings</h5>

<p>Syntactic level mappings declare the correspondence between two semantically
equivalent properties but with a different syntactic expression. It's most
evident case is the date formatting, but some others may appear. </p>

<p>The mapping expression corresponds to the concrete implementation or
representation of the mappings defined in the previous paragraph, both at a
semantic level and at syntactic one. </p>

<p>In the context of the W3C Semantic Web activity, <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/CR-skos-reference-20090317/">SKOS</a> (acronym
for Simple Knowledge Organization System) is currently a Candidate
Recommendation that defines a vocabulary for representing Knowledge
Organization Systems (i.e. vocabularies) and relationships amongst them. In <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/CR-skos-reference-20090317/">SKOS</a> the
mapping properties that we take into account in the mapping table are expressed
as: <em>skos:exactMatch</em>, <em>skos:narrowMatch</em>,
<em>skos:broaderMatch</em> and <em>skos:relatedMatch</em>. Some more fine
grained definition of the properties has still to be done: we need to agree on
the properties' names, define their formal properties (if they are symmetric,
etc) and the type of value expected, to enhance more efficient concrete
mappings, in the API. </p>
