Re: F2F 3 and call for comments

Dear all,

I am back from my holidays and just browsed through the group's emails
from the previous weeks.

I think that the consolidated list of annotation properties is indeed a
very important outcome of the F2F meeting as a basis for the ontology.

I have a few questions / remarks (apologies if these have been already
discussed and I missed them):

* What is the reason to dismiss the rights annotation property? I think
that the group should not dig into the complexity of rights expressions
but rights are a crucial aspect of any media consumption task and thus
in my opinion the property should be kept, so people are able to point
to a (more comlex) rights expression.

* Regarding the technical metadata properties: I rather support the
position of Jean-Pierre. Having technical metadata properties in there
can blow the list. Imho technical metadata is needed for some use cases,
as already pointed out by Florian. But what does the group think about
the definition of profiles of our ontology for specific usage scenarios
or domains like e.g. SMIL did?

I fully agree to the comments in the thread from Raphael / Werner that
we should slightly adapt the terminology and clearly define the meaning
of the used terms.

Best,

Tobias
