Hm. I thought so at first, too. But then I thought about it a little more. The person who publishes the video can apply a list of "favourite scenes" as a description straight for the video. A bit like an RSS feed. Then it's "source supplied" still, because the publisher associates it. It's more like a "director's favourite scenes" actually. It would also be possible for somebody else on a different Web server to publish their favourite scenes for a video hosted by somebody else. Then it's user supplied, but scalable. All types of annotations actually follow this "rule": they can all be regarded both as source-supplied and user-supplied. So, yes, they really are a third type of metadata in your list. Not sure what consequences that has on the media annotations group work, but worth a thought... Cheers, Silvia.
