<h2><a name="abstract" id="abstract"></a>Abstract</h2>
<p>This document specifies use cases and requirements as an input for the
development of the "Ontology for Media Resource 1.0" and the "API for Media
Resource 1.0". The ontology will be a simple ontology to support
cross-community data integration of information related to media resources on
the Web. The API will provide read access and potentially write access to media
resources, relying on the definitions from the ontology. </p>
<p>The main scope of this document are videos. Metadata for other media
resources like audio or images will be taken into account if it is applicable
for videos as well.</p>

<h2><a name="introduction" id="introduction"></a>1 Introduction</h2>
<p>Anticipating the increase in online video and audio in the upcoming years,
we can foresee that it will become progressively more difficult for viewers to
find the content using current search tools. In addition, video services on the
web that allow for upload of video, need to display selected information about
the media documents which could be facilitated by a uniform access to selected
metadata across a variety of file formats. </p>
<p>Unlike hypertext documents, it is more complex and sometimes impossible to
deduce meta information about a medium, such as its title, author, or creation
date from its content. There has been a proliferation of media metadata formats
for the document's authors to express this metadata information. For example,
an image could potentially contain <cite><a href="#exif">EXIF</a></cite>,
<cite><a href="#iptc">IPTC</a></cite> and <cite><a href="#xmp">XMP</a></cite>
information. There are also several metadata solutions for media related
content, including <cite><a href="#mpeg-7">MPEG-7</a></cite>, Yahoo! <cite><a
href="#mediarss">MEDIA RSS</a></cite>, Google <cite><a
href="#videositemaps">Videositemaps</a></cite>, <cite><a
href="#vodcsv">VODCSV</a></cite>, <cite><a
href="#tvanytime">TVAnytime</a></cite> and <cite><a href="#ebu-p-metadata">EBU
P-Meta</a></cite>. Many of these formats have been extensively discussed in the
deliverables <cite><a href="#xgr-vocabularies">XGR Vocabularies</a></cite> and
<cite><a href="#xgr-image-annotation">XGR Image Annotation</a></cite> of the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/mmsem/ ">W3C Multimedia Semantics
Incubator Group </a>, which provide a major input to this Working Group.</p>
<p>The "Ontology for Media Resource 1.0" will address the intercompatiblity
problem by providing a common set of properties to define the basic metadata
needed for media resources and the semantic links between their values in
different existing vocabularies. It will help circumventing the current
proliferation of video metadata formats by providing full or partial
translation and mapping from properties in formats to a common set of
properties in the ontology. The ontology will be accompanied by an API that
provides uniform access to all elements defined by the ontology. </p>
<p>This document specifies the use cases and requirements that are motivating
the development of the "Ontology for Media Resource 1.0". The scope is mainly
video media resources, but we take also other media resources into account if
their metadata information is related to video.</p>
<p>The development of the requirements has three major inputs: Use cases,
analysis of existing standards, and a description of canonical media
processes.</p>
</div>
<div class="div1">
<h2><a name="purpose-of-this-draft" id="purpose-of-this-draft"></a>2 Purpose of
this draft publication</h2>
<p>This initial version of this document contains only a small set of use cases
and requirements. Nevertheless it is being published to gather wide feedback on
the general direction of the Working Group. Hence, we would like to encourage
especially feedback on <a href="#requirements"><b>6 Requirements</b></a>, the
requirements which we are planning to implement, or others which we are
planning not to take into account.</p>
<p>Currently, there is an additional section under development, describing a
top-down modeling approach to describe the media annotation problem. The
Working Group is considering to publish that section in an updated version of
this document.</p>
</div>
<div class="div1">
<h2><a name="scope" id="scope"></a>3 Purpose of the Ontology and the API</h2>
<p>The following figure visualizes the purpose of the ontology, the purpose of
the API and their relation to applications.</p>
<img
src="http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Annotations/drafts/media-req/MediannScope.png"
alt="Purpose of the ontology and the API" />
<p>The ontology will define mappings from properties in formats to a common set
of properties. The API then will define methods to access heterogeneous
metadata, using such mappings. An example: the property <code>createDate</code>
from XMP <cite><a href="#xmp">XMP</a></cite> can be mapped to the property
<code>DateCreated</code> from IPTC <cite><a href="#iptc">IPTC</a></cite>.</p>
<p>An important aspect of the above figure is that everything visualized above
the API is left to applications. For example.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>languages for simple or complex queries</p>
</li>
<li><p>analysis of user preferences (like "preferring movies with actor X and
suitable for children")</p>
</li>
<li><p>other mechanisms for accessing metadata</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The ontology and the API provide merely a basic, simple means of
interoperability for such applications.</p>

</ul>
<p>Description / Example:</p>
<p>The collections of cultural heritage institutions (libraries, museums,
archives, etc.) are increasingly digitised and made available on the Web. These
collections range from text to image, video and audio (music and radio
collections, for example). A comprehensive, professionally created
documentation is usually available, however, often using domain specific or
even proprietary metadata models. This hinders accessing these collections in
an homogeneous or centralized way and linking them across collections. </p>
<p>For example, Jane is a TV journalist searching for material about some event
in contemporary history. She is interested in television and radio broadcasts
from this event, along with photos and newspaper articles. All these resources
come from different collections, and some are in different languages. A
homogeneous way of accessing them across the Web would improve her work.</p>

<h3><a name="uc-recommendations-across-media-types"
id="uc-recommendations-across-media-types"></a>5.2 Recommendation across
different media types</h3>
<p>Summary: Accessing heterogeneous media resources metadata as the input to
the creation of recommendations which is based on user preferences.</p>
<p>Related requirements:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><a href="#req-r01">Requirement r01: Providing methods for getting
metadata information stored in different formats</a></p>
</li>
<li><p><a href="#req-r03">Requirement r03: Providing in the API a means for

</li>
<li><p><a href="#req-r15">Requirement r15: Providing support for discovery of
named and track fragments</a></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Description / Example:</p>
<p>People nowadays are able to enjoy large number of programs from different
content providers (broadcasting companies, Internet video website, etc.). To
achieve better user experience, reduce the user's experience of being
overloaded, and hence retain users, some systems provide recommendations based
on the user's history, ratings, or stated preferences. However, different
content providers usually have their specific or proprietary metadata models,
which is one of the key problems faced by recommendation service providers. A
common ontology spanning different metadata sets can allow recommendation
systems to return a better, larger, and more relevant selection than when the
metadata systems are unrelated. </p>
<p>Company A is an IPTV add-value service provider. One of their services is to
recommend programs that users might like, based on their watching history or
explicit rating of programs. In this system, users are able to watch regular TV
programs with electronic program guide (EPG) format metadata, videos such as
from YouTube, with website-specific metadata, etc. In order to perform uniform
and effective recommendation in the absence of a common set of vocabularies,
they would need to design own integrated media annotation model.</p>

<h3><a name="uc-life-log" id="uc-life-log"></a>5.3 Life Log</h3>
<p>Use case summary: combining heterogeneous metadata from life logs, to allow

</ul>
<p>Description / Example:</p>
<p>With modern devices, a person can capture his or her experience, including
all sorts of daily events, by creating images, audios and videos files, and
publish them on the Web. These are called "Life Logs". These Life Logs contain
various information such as time, location, creator's profile, relations
between different people, and even emotion. If accessed via an ontology
providing links between the different metadata used to describe these various
information, a user could easily and efficiently search for his or her personal
Life Log information, including emotional information ( this type of
information can be described using a vocabulary like <cite><a
href="#emotionsml10">Emotions ML 1.0</a></cite>), or geolocation information on
the Web (which can be described using the <cite><a
href="#geolocationapi">Geolocation API</a></cite> specification). Other
people's Life Logs contents could also be searched and accessed via this
ontology.</p>

</ul>
<p>Description / Example:</p>
<p>John is developing a JavaScript library for accessing metadata of media
resources (e.g. video) in various formats. These resources are available within
a database, such as that of a search engine indexing the internet or other
web-accessible content (e.g. a corporate repository, library, etc.). His
library can be used to make queries of the media resources like: </p>
<ul>
<li><p>"Find me all media resources which have been created by a specified
person"</p>
</li>
<li><p>"Find me all media resources which have been created this year" </p>
</li>
<li><p>"Find me all videos which are not longer than a specified time"</p>
</li>
<li><p>"Extract all user added tags from all media resources available"</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>This use case is related to many other use cases. Nevertheless it is
mentioned separately since, at the difference from other requirements, its
implementation requires only a small set of requirements. The difference from
this use case to the Cultural Heritage use case is that the former is very
strongly tied to the requirement of a read-only client side API.</p>

<p>Description / Example:</p>
<p>John wants to publish comments on the last movies he has seen on
http://example.cheap-vod.com/ . For each movie, he uses the description
metadata field to provide a personal summary of the movie (with incentive to
see or avoid the movie according to his own opinions), and the ranking
metadata. John is also not satisfied with the genre classification of the
website, so he uses the genre metadata field to provide his appreciation of the
genre with regard to a better scheme. He then publishes these metadata on his
blog (may be in the form of a podcast), but only links to the videos
themselves.</p>
<p>Jane, a friend of John's and another cheap-vod customer, can now configure
her cheap-vod account or her browser, to have John's metadata added to or
replacing the original metadata embedded in each file. </p>
<p>Now Jane wants to study more particularly the characters of the movie. For
making this easier, she defines one custom metadata field for each of the main
characters, and sets these fields to "yes" or "no" for each sequence, to
indicate if they contain that character or not. For example:</p>
<div class="exampleInner">
<pre>&lt;http://example.library.myschool.edu/rose.ogv#some_fragment_identifier&gt;
dc:title "Meeting Tom Baxter" ;
dc:description "Cecilia sees the movie several times when...." ;
custom:cecilia "yes" ;
custom:tom "yes" ;
custom:gil "no" ;
custom:monk "no".</pre>
</div>
<p>In this context, the ontology would enhance the interoperability between
different users.</p>

<h3><a name="req-r01" id="req-r01"></a>6.1 Requirement r01: Providing methods
for <em>getting</em> metadata information stored in different formats</h3>
<p>Description: The API <strong>MUST</strong> provide methods for getting
metadata stored in different formats related to media resources. Metadata can
be in one of different formats, either as separate document or embedded in
media resources.</p>
<p>Rationale: This is a core requirements. Its implementation is necessary for
nearly all use cases.</p>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): API</p>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r02" id="req-r02"></a>6.2 Requirement r02: Providing methods
for <em>setting</em> metadata information stored in different formats</h3>
<p>Description: The API <strong>MUST</strong> provide methods for setting
metadata stored in different formats related to media resources. Metadata can
be in one of different formats, either as separate document or embedded in
media resources.</p>
<p>Rationale: The implementation of this requirement is mainly necessary for
use cases which involve change of media resources by users. </p>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): API</p>
<div class="note">
<p class="prefix"><b>Note:</b></p>
<p>The implementation of this requirement may impose several problems, like:
how to set information in formats which have more detailed information than our
ontology, or how to implement the setting process in the API (e.g. what
protocol to use). Due to such problems and since there seem to be no
implementations achieving this functionality, we might not take this
requirement into account.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r03" id="req-r03"></a>6.3 Requirement r03: Providing in the
API a means for supporting structured annotations</h3>
<p>Description: The API <strong>MUST</strong> provide a means to support
structured metadata to media resources, like the name of the creator being
structured in "first name" and "last name".</p>
<p>Rationale: There are existing, widely used formats like <cite><a
href="#xmp">XMP</a></cite> which are defined in a structured manner. To be able
to support meta information for media resources, including such formats, the
API needs to have a means to achieve this.</p>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): API</p>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r04" id="req-r04"></a>6.4 Requirement r04: Providing a means
to access user-defined metadata</h3>
<p>Description: It <strong>MUST</strong> be possible to access user-defined
metadata to media resources. "user-defined metadata" means metadata that is not
defined in a standardized format, but which is being created entirely by the
user.</p>
<p>Rationale: The ability to access user-defined metadata is necessary for the
use case <a href="#uc-user-generated-metadata">user generated metadata</a>.</p>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): API which needs to provide a method to add
user-defined metadata, and the ontology which needs to provide an extensibility
mechanism.</p>
<div class="note">
<p class="prefix"><b>Note:</b></p>
<p>"Accessing user-defined metadata" may mean setting or getting such metadata.
We have not decided whether we will be able to support the process of setting
metadata, see issues mentioned at <a href="#req-r02">Requirement r02: Providing
methods for setting metadata in media resources in different formats</a>.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r05" id="req-r05"></a>6.5 Requirement r05: Providing the
ontology as a simple set of properties</h3>
<p>Description: the ontology <strong>MUST</strong> be available as a simple set
of properties, to hide complexity for whose who do not need it.</p>
<p>Rationale: In use cases like <a href="#uc-access-via-web-client">access via
web client to metadata in heterogeneous formats</a> it is important to hide the
potentially complex ontology from the web developer. This will foster ease of
use and wide spread adoption.</p>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): API and ontology</p>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r06" id="req-r06"></a>6.6 Requirement r06: Specifying an
internal or external format for the ontology</h3>
<p>Description: The ontology <strong>MUST</strong> be provided not only in
prose description but also as an internal or external format.</p>
<p>Rationale: to be able foster interoperability between applications, a common
format for the ontology will be helpful. To avoid the need to process this
format for all implementations, the specification(s) will provide separate
slices of conformance, see <a href="#req-r11">Requirement r11: providing the
ontology in slices of conformance</a>.</p>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): Mainly the ontology, but possibly also the
API, if we require it to process this format.</p>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r07" id="req-r07"></a>6.7 Requirement r07: Introducing several
abstraction levels in the ontology</h3>
<p>Description: The ontology <strong>MUST</strong> provide several abstraction
levels.</p>
<p>Rationale: Several metadata standards like <cite><a
href="#frbr">FRBR</a></cite> or <cite><a href="#cidoc">CIDOC</a></cite> allow
referring to multimedia resources on several abstraction levels, in order to
separate e.g. a movie, a DVD which contains the movie and a specific copy of
the DVD. Especially for collections of multimedia resources, knowledge about
such abstraction levels is helpful, as a means for accessing the resources on
each level.</p>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): ontology and potentially API, if we want to
provide access to metadata and multimedia resources on several abstraction
levels.</p>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r08" id="req-r08"></a>6.8 Requirement r08: Being able to apply
the ontology / API for collections of metadata</h3>
<p>Description: It <strong>MUST</strong> be possible to access collections of
metadata.</p>
<p>Rationale: For processing collections of multimedia resources, access to
collections of metadata referring potentially to more than one resource is
necessary. As an example for the need for this requirement and a related
requirement see <a href="#req-r07">Requirement r07: Introducing several
abstraction levels in the ontology</a>.</p>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): API and ontology</p>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r09" id="req-r09"></a>6.9 Requirement r09: Supporting the
provenance information of metadata properties</h3>
<p>Description: The ontology <strong>MUST</strong> support provenance
information of metadata properties.</p>
<p>Rationale: Metadata is being dealt with by for example producers of metadata
(e.g. a video camera), changers (e.g. a person which modifies initially created
metadata) and consumers (e.g. an application which processes metadata to make
it accessible for search). If several pieces of metadata, created by machines
or people in different roles, are in conflict (e.g. contradictory creation
dates), a description of provenance (i.e. roles of the metadata creators) can
be useful for conflict resolution (e.g. "metadata produced by the changer has
precedence over metadata produced by the creator").</p>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): ontology</p>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r10" id="req-r10"></a>6.10 Requirement r10: Being able to
describe fragments of media resources</h3>
<p>Description: It <strong>MUST</strong> be possible to relate metadata to
fragments of media resources. </p>
<p>Rationale: Processes like search may be specific to fragments of media
resources, e.g. a search for all kiss scenes in a movie. The implementation of
this requirement provides the means to implement such processes.</p>
<div class="note">
<p class="prefix"><b>Note:</b></p>
<p>This requirement will be implemented by the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/">Media Fragments Working
Group</a>.</p>
</div>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): none of these</p>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r11" id="req-r11"></a>6.11 Requirement r11: Providing the
ontology in slices of conformance</h3>
<p>Description: The ontology <strong>MUST</strong> be provided in a prose
description and <strong>MAY</strong> be provided in different serializations
(RDF, XML). The yet to be produced general conformance description
<strong>MUST</strong> require implementations to take the prose description
into account. Additional conformance descriptions, being specific to a
serialization, <strong>MAY</strong> be provided.</p>
<p>Rationale: Existing metadata formats use a wide range of serializations like
RDF and XML. To foster a widespread adoption of the ontology, we do not want to
be specific to one serialization, but rather state that following the prose
description is sufficient for an implementation. If there is a interest in the
Working Group to create one or more serializations, we may provide additional
types of conformance for them.</p>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): ontology</p>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r12" id="req-r12"></a>6.12 Requirement r12: Providing support
for controlled vocabularies for the values of different properties</h3>
<p>Description: It <strong>MUST</strong> be possible to take information from
controlled vocabularies for certain properties into account.</p>
<p>Rationale: Media archives often make use of controlled vocabularies (e.g.
classifications, thesauri, ontologies) for certain properties. Providing access
to knowledge about which vocabulary is actually being in use for a media
resource, is an important requirement for such archives.</p>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): ontology (for describing properties which
need a slot for specifying a controlled vocabulary) and the API ( for getting
information about which vocabulary is being used for a media resource)</p>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r13" id="req-r13"></a>6.13 Requirement r13: Allowing for
different return types for the same property</h3>
<p>Description: It <strong>MUST</strong> be possible to provide different
return types for the same property.</p>
<p>Rationale: Some properties are defined with the same name and functionality
(e.g. conveying information about the creator of a media resource), but use
different value types (e.g. <code>string</code> versus <code>URI</code>). This
raises the question whether the API should be specific to only one return type,
or allow for undefined/unformatted return values for the same property. </p>
<p>Target (API and / or ontology): API</p>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r14" id="req-r14"></a>6.14 Requirement r14: Providing support
for policy information</h3>
<p>Description: The ontology <strong>MUST</strong> provide support for linking
policy information related to the media resource. </p>
<p>Rationale: Specific types of policy information are license, rights and
access. If an implementation supports policy information, the set of properties
must include a link to policy description, represented using e.g. <cite><a
href="#odrl">ODRL</a></cite> or <cite><a href="#p3p">P3P</a></cite>, in order
to express the binding of the policy information to the media resource being
described. Ideally, the link to the policy information should be embedded in
the media resource.</p>

<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="req-r15" id="req-r15"></a>6.15 Requirement r15: Providing support
for discovery of named and track fragments</h3>
<p>Description: The ontology <strong>MUST</strong> provide properties to query
the list tracks that exist in a media resource as well as the list of named
fragments.</p>
<p>Rationale: The <a href="http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/">Media
Fragments WG</a> is interested in technologies that enable track and named
fragments discovery, i.e., the UA needs a way to know for which tracks are
available in a particular media resource, and which named fragments have been
annotated. </p>
