			<p>This page documents discussion of TV-related extensions to the Schema.org vocabulary, as part of the <a href="/wiki/WebSchemas" title="WebSchemas">WebSchemas</a> group.
</p><p>See also a more specific proposal: <a href="/wiki/TVRadioSchema" title="TVRadioSchema">TVRadioSchema</a> that came out of these discussions
</p>
<a name="Background" id="Background"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">Background</span></h2>
<p>At launch, <a href="http://schema.org/docs/full.html" class="external text" title="http://schema.org/docs/full.html" rel="nofollow">Schema.org</a> contained basic vocabulary for describing TV-related entities.
</p>
<ul><li> <a href="http://schema.org/TVEpisode" class="external text" title="http://schema.org/TVEpisode" rel="nofollow">TVEpisode</a>: director, actors, producer, trailer, productionCompany, partOfTVSeries, partOfSeason, episodeNumber, musicBy
</li><li> <a href="http://schema.org/TVSeason" class="external text" title="http://schema.org/TVSeason" rel="nofollow">TVSeason</a>: trailer, episodes, partOfTVSeries, seasonNumber, numberOfEpisodes, startDate, endDate
</li><li> <a href="http://schema.org/TVSeries" class="external text" title="http://schema.org/TVSeries" rel="nofollow">TVSeries</a>: director, actors, producer, trailer, productionCompany, episodes, seasons, numberOfEpisodes, musicBy, startDate, endDate
</li><li> <a href="http://schema.org/Movie" class="external text" title="http://schema.org/Movie" rel="nofollow">Movie</a>: duration, director, actors, producer, trailer,  productionCompany, musicBy
</li></ul>
<p>This captures a lot of existing structured data available in the consumer-facing Web. However it is missing some pieces that are already available in structured data form.
</p><p>For example, the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/ontologies/programmes/2009-09-07.shtml" class="external text" title="http://www.bbc.co.uk/ontologies/programmes/2009-09-07.shtml" rel="nofollow">BBC's Programmes Ontology</a> describes TV-related entities (Brand, Series, Episode, Programme, Broadcast, ...). There are also other metadata initiatives from <a href="http://www.ebu.ch/" class="external text" title="http://www.ebu.ch/" rel="nofollow">EBU</a>, <a href="http://www.tv-anytime.org" class="external text" title="http://www.tv-anytime.org" rel="nofollow">TV-Anytime</a> and others that provide potential basis for extensions and improvements.
</p>
<a name="Discussion" id="Discussion"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">Discussion</span></h2>
<p>Jean-Pierre Evain (<a href="http://www.ebu.ch/" class="external text" title="http://www.ebu.ch/" rel="nofollow">EBU</a>), Yves Raimond (BBC) and Dan Brickley (for Schema.org) have had some preliminary discussions. Partial notes from Dan/Yves F2f chat transcribed here by Dan, with follow-up <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/2011Oct/0125.html" class="external text" title="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/2011Oct/0125.html" rel="nofollow">comments from Jean-Pierre on the list</a>:
</p><p>Topics that are missing or could be expanded:
</p>
<ul><li> broadcasts, availabilities, segments, tracklist etc.
</li><li> availability? being a window saying this programme is available from this time to that time, ... including geographic territories.
</li><li> Segments - covering tracklists, ... segmentations of programmes into sequenced parts. 
<ul><li> =&gt; see <a href="/wiki/Playlisting" title="Playlisting">Playlist modelling</a> (<a href="/wiki/User:Bferris" title="User:Bferris">Bob Ferris</a>, 10-24-2011, 1:20 pm)
</li></ul>
</li><li> perhaps also versions as well; is something signed (for deaf) -- accessibility
</li><li> topics: tags, ... supported by schema.org already, loose associations between items and associations
</li></ul>
<p>Other sites like bbc/programmes? who else, other big broadcasters in UK... Yves has contact at C4; Jean-Pierre Evain has many contacts in Europe and worldwide.
</p><p>Next steps:
</p>
<ul><li> Yves contacting C4
</li><li> Dan to talk to Jean-Pierre
</li><li> Can we identify simple obvious additions?
</li></ul>
<a name="Terminology_choices" id="Terminology_choices"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">Terminology choices</span></h2>
<p>Note that the current Schema.org markup makes a North-American use of "Series" and "Season", and that "Series" at least in UK-English professional use, corresponds roughly to the US notion of a "Season". Wikipedia has <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_program#Seasons.2Fseries" class="external text" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_program#Seasons.2Fseries" rel="nofollow">notes on this issue</a>. It may be impossible to find neutral terminology, but perhaps documentation fixes can make the distinctions clearer for an international audience.
