Dear all, I have been able to locate the Media Ontology drafts at: - http://www.salzburgresearch.at/~tbuerger/ma-ont.rdfs (original RDFS version) - http://www.ebu.ch/metadata/ontologies/W3C_MAWG/ma-ont-rev.rdfs.xml (revised RDFS version) - http://www.salzburgresearch.at/~tbuerger/ma-ont.owl (original OWL version). Why not checking in these files in a single obvious location that is the Media Annotations WG web space, e.g. in http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Annotations/ontology/ ? I wanted to do that myself, but I just realize how messy was this CVS web directory, with many duplicate folders. Who is doing some cleanup and administration here ? Further, the namespace of the Media Ontology seems to be: http://www.w3.org/ns/ma-ont#. Is this the final namespace? I observe it is inconsistent with the usual non-written W3C policy where namespaces tend to include dates (see e.g. OWL, RDF, RDFS, SKOS, etc.). It is also largely inconsistent with community practice from the Web of Data community. I wonder how much the choice of the namespace has been discussed? I would like to point out the importance of this issue. Remember the SKOS history, that has debated for many weeks the change of its namespace but couldn't since too many applications relying on the old one would have been broken! I'm already using the ma-ont namespace in my application, so take a decision sooner than later! Thanks.
