Re: EXTERNAL: Re: Proposal for an additional term: mediaType

I've been poking around, looking for library-oriented codelists for formats, but so far no luck.

And here, as HTML: http://www.editeur.org/ONIX/book/codelists/current.html - relevant lists are 150, 175, 176 and 76.

Yesterday I went to a workshop as part of www.linkedheritage.eu<http://www.linkedheritage.eu/> where we experimented and discussed expressing them in SKOS…

This has also been covered in detail in the RDA/ONIX framework: http://www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/2007/5chair10.pdf

Check ONIX codelists as well. Some useful stuff in those.

Trying to revive this thread as those of us working on the LRMI tagger see a need to capture "mediaType" information and would like to work towards consensus on how to handle this in Schema.org<http://schema.org/>.

Given that DC and EBUCore (among others) have tried to address this issue and have some proposed solutions, how can we accomodate format/medium in schema.org<http://schema.org/>? I think attributes "encoding" and "genre" ad dress things covered by DC "type". There is still a need to for things like MIMEtype, the physical medium,  container format etc. Can we start with the DC "format" as the straw-man and see if this adequately covers "format" in schema.org<http://schema.org/>?

Thanks for the nudge here.

As previous discussion shows, various communities have all got some
partial coverage of this issue, and as we consider e.g. the Library
-oriented proposals from OCLC to improve our bibliographic vocabulary,
the same ("content vs carrier") distinctions will re-appear.

Can we separate the question of 'which schema.org<http://schema.org/> property to use'
from the question of the values? What would be super-useful right now,
is a list of those specific values. We'll need to split them into
fields/properties of course, but for now just seeing a big collection
of the values would be helpful... particularly those that occur in
educational datasets.  Generally with schema.org<http://schema.org/> we try to 'surface'
existing content in more explicit form, rather than introduce new
representations, so anything you have from the LRMI community could
help guide us...

cheers,

Dan
