The ontology focuses primarily on the description of print comic books and
collections, particularly condition, certification, grade, and other
aspects of collecting American comic books. However, the underling
conceptual model is intended to represent the comics visual form regardless
of container, so I'd imagine both frameworks would ultimately be compatible
to some degree.

While the ontology includes models for the visual structure of comics [1],
encoding actual comics/manga content is better addressed by the Manga
Metadata Framework and CBML. I reviewed these projects as part of my thesis
[2], but I have not yet included an explicit map to them.

Also see these very cool MMF examples:

I hope that helps to answer your question!
