Hello Werner, all, I agree with your comments and have a remark to one of them. Bailer, Werner さんは書きました: > Dear all, > > My comments concern the following issues: > > - tagging / tagging vs. CH: > I agree to Raphaels view that the actual alignment of tags is out of scope for the media ontology, just as the alignment of different vocabularies in the CH use case. This would prevent the goal of creating a general lightweight ontology. However, as pointed out by Raphael, interoperability ontologies designed for tagging should be supported. > > - requirements from CH use cases: > Yes, the requirements should be stated more clearly, I can work on that later this week. While the interop issue is crucial in this use case it probably cannot be directly translated into an interop requirement for the ontology and/or API. > > - requirements summary (section 4): > 1. standards: it should be stated what we understand here by bridging, i.e. not full compatibility but supporting a wide common subset and defining appropriate mappings > 3. same comment about bridging; I suggest to drop the reference to the CH use case here, as IMO the requirement of deploying/displaying metadata aligned with content is broader and comes from other use cases as well > 5. I am not sure about the role of the API w.r.t interoperability. I see the role of the API rather as access point to the ontology we are developing, but not something that implements mapping. In the media ontology properties have well defined meaning, and well defined mappings are described in the specification, but not built into the API (at least not in a core part). I also suggest to replace the term "tag" with "property" in this sentence. > I agree with the terminology "property" instead of "tag" and with the design you describe: mapping is defined in the ontology, the API is *one* access point to it. I tried to exemplify this with this example: createDate property in the ontology, including mappings http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2008/video/mediaann/mediaont-api-1.0/mediaont-api-1.0.html?rev=1.10#property-createDate getDate method from the API, which only references mappings http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2008/video/mediaann/mediaont-api-1.0/mediaont-api-1.0.html?rev=1.10#method-getDate of course the question now arises what "well defined meaning of properties" is. But I put this out of this thread for now.
