Comments from PLING to MAWG

Dear W3C Media Annotations WG chairs, the W3C Policy Language   
Interest Group (PLING) would like to offer the following comments and  
suggestions:

=========
The PLING would like to see greater support for links to machine- 
interpretable policies as part of the web architecture. We recommend   
that the Media Annotations WG strongly consider this requirement for
the "Ontology for Media Resource" WD [1]. Specifically, we suggest   
that "ma:policy" be supported as a link (URI) to a policy. We do not   
expect that every application will understand the policy at the end of
the URI, but they will at least be aware of the policy, and for those   
that do (such as CC [2], ODRL [3] etc) can then provide an improved   
service as the user interacts with the media.

We look forward to your comments and response.

Cheers...  Renato Iannella (on behalf of the PLING)
