A few comments:
- I think we should not distinguish URN from dereferenceable URIs; this
debate is out of scope for us. Any URI should be considered as an
identifier, possibly dereferenceable.
- I think we should allow textual descriptions or URIs, but also be able
to disinguish between the two
- I think we should allow explicit multiple values
The last two points have been my concerns when developing the toy
application at [1] (which should be updated now with the top tags).

> unique IDs (e.g. URN) or de-referencable pointer (e.g. URI to their
> FaceBook page :-))?
>
> ma:keyword -- if there is more than one word, is it a phrase, or are
> they separate keywords? Do we need to say phrases are in quotes? Are
> keywords an 'enumerated space' (as above)?
>
> ma:duration -- someone at the meeting was arguing that this might be
> different from the actual media duration, but I can't remember why. If
> it's the actual media duration, it's a property rather than annotation.
>
> ma:spatialDimension -- we need units, and we need to know if they are
> uniform. I would say that the dimensions must be uniform (square grid)
> and that some unit must be specified (cm, inch, square-pixel, point, ...)
>
> ma:genre -- enumeration? (note typo in the 4th column, 'resrouce')
>
> ma:createDate -- can we say that this is a date as defined in ISO 8601
> string format? That allows for presentation, comparison, conversion to
> other date systems etc. We probably don't need to care about the b.c.e
> issue.
>
> ma:compression -- what namespace is used to name compressors? Or is
> this a URI to the spec.?
>
> ma:location -- probably an ISO 6709 (Annex H) string, right? Do we want
> other possible additional values here (e.g. a human name, "Barcelona")
> etc.?
>
> ma:collection -- rather than a name, wouldn't an identifier (URN or URI)
> be better?
>
> ma:rating -- how is the person or organization identified?
>
> ma:targetAudience -- isn't this a triplet? e.g. "Venezuelan Board of TV
> Censors", "Permissible broadcast hours", "03h - 04h"? Why is rating not
