RE: RE : Next iteration of the RDF ontology

Dear Mari-Carmen,

A segment is just another name for fragment. I can't see the need to have a sub-class Segment also because having segment at the same semantic level as Track is problematic. But we can mention that fragment is equivalent to segment or part in other ontologies.

The same for frame. The only way to address a frame is to rely on the locator using the MFWG URI. Otherwise we have a duration we could set to '1' (frame, although the unit for duration is 'double' as defined in the ontology) and we are missing a start time for the fragment. (we have addressed these issues in EBUCore with different possible time reference formats for start and duration). In other words if you have a URI with a start time and duration 1 frame, then you have a fragment that is a frame, by definition and it would be the same if we had a start time and duration as properties for the fragment.

As a result of the abovem I would not say that Video Frame is a synonym to videoTrack.

An image could be a key frame, as I said, but eventually can be represented as a "frame" fragment.

Best regards,

Jean-Pierre

Dear Jean-Pierre and Tobias,

thank you very much for your quick response and clarifications.

I would say that to include such kind of restriction in the relation 
'isFragmentOf' is beneficial for the ontology in order to avoid possible 
mistakes in a knowledge base.

With respecto to your comments,
- " - a frame could be a MediaFragment with a duration of one frame and 
if you wnat to address only the farme as a video frame then the 
component is the VideoTrack. We could have segment and frame as possible 
media fragments in the definition". I would say that include segment and 
frame as subclasses as media fragments could be a good idea; if the 
final decision is not to include them, I would include (at least) 'video 
frame' as a synonim of 'video track'.
- "an image could also be a key frame". In this case I would also 
include this information explicitly in the ontology.
- "as mentioned above captioning is the same as subtitle and this should 
be mentioned in the definitions if you think it helps.". Yes, I think 
this kind of explicity information about synonyms is useful for the 
understanding and use of the ontology.

Again thank you very much for your responses. I hope my comments can 
help in the revisions of the ontology.

Best Regards,

Mari Carmen.
