Dear Jean-Pierre,

thank you very much for the revised version of the ontology.

I attended the teleconf on 21st december, however I had some problems
with my micro; I was able to follow all your conversations, but I could
not provide my comments via phone (I used the irc channel).

After this teleconf, I took a look to the current version of the
ontology, and I have a set of comments:

- With respect to the language and signing of a particular resource: as
it is now in the code there is a property (hasLanguage) whose domain is
MediaResource, this means that a particular resource (e.g. a video) can
have only one language. But what about a video composing of different
tracks with diverse languages and signing, would it have sense to
consider this possibility?
In addition, I would like to comment that maybe we could provide a range
for this relations (e.g., NaturalLanguage) and instanciate it with the
ISO language codes.

JPE: A particular resource can have an infinity of languages. If we use only the class language then there is no discrimination between the role of the different languages accompanying the resource. The purpose to a language according to the approach chosen by the group is to use sub-properties of hasLanguage, e.g. hasMainLanguage, hasSigningLanguage, etc. 
The same is true for a language associated to an audio track. This could be also sub-properties under the same hasLanguage property as they would be inherited anyway.
I now realise that we don't need a sub-class of track for captioning as we provide no other information than the language and purpose (but nothing e.g. about the format). I would therefore suggest that we only have an example like a subproperty of hasLanguage saying hasAudioDescriptionCaptioningLanguage. We could add the above example to show other possible properties associated to a resource (inc. audioTrack)
About the range. The approach taken by the group is to use a blank node as a mechanism to provide a value either as a URI (e.g. pointing to a SKOS concept in a classification scheme) or a string in a label.

PROPOSAL: Remove the sub-class captioning and add examples of subproperties to hasLanguage (no change on the blank node approach)

- It is not clear for me in the ontology how the distinction between
object properties and data type properties has been done. For example,
'hasCompression' is an object property but there is no class
representing 'Compression'; in this case, which is the range of the
relation; or do we have the compression expressed as an String. Similar
situations are 'hasKeyword' that could be represented as a datatype
property.

JPE: same as above to support a blank node to point to an object or use a label for a string value.

PROPOSAL: no change on the blank node approach

- Regarding Track: there is a data type property called 'type' whose
domain is Track and range is String. However, there is also in the
ontology a hierarchy of Track including AudioTrack, Captioning,
VideoTrack. Thus, I think the 'type' property is not needed, because if
you have an instance X whose type is 'AudioTrack', then this instance is
instance of the class 'AudioTrack' and not of the class 'Track'.

JPE: Yes, additional track types should be represented as subclasses of track. Historical leftover I guess.

PROPOSAL: remove trackType

- There is also represented in the ontology the fact that a media
resource has a target audience. This target audience is modeled as a
class, however, I would say this could be a set of strings in a data
type property; unless you want to know information about each possible
group of audience (students, researchers, grandfathers, etc.). If this
is the case, we should instanciate the class 'TargetAudience' with the
possible instance we would like to consider in the ontology.

JPE: this has been a subject of a long discussion. I used to have a position similar to yours (also for rating) but was convinced to implement as is. Anyway, thanks for raising this again. Our discussion during TPAC focused very much on parental guidance. In this specific case,  I can imagine a content provider addressing different markets with their own parental control systems  (one or more per country actually like to movies, TV and games) would have a database of such schemes and therefore the current implementation would be justifed. However, th trues meaning of targetAudience doesn't require this and an object property (blank node for a URI or string) is enough (the issuer is the content provider by default).

PROPOSAL; I would therefore propose that the ontology targetAudience property is implemented by changing the name of the targetAudience class by parentalGuidance, and create an object property 'hasTargetAudience' with domain MediaResource.



I think these are all my comments. I hope this helps.
If you agree I could also contribute both to update/modify the rdf and
to update/modify the ontology document.

JPE: if you don't mind we cannot have too many editors of the RDF. I'll therefore take care of updating the file when we have agreed the changes.

Thank you very much and Best Regards.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2011.
