I guess the array could be useful to provide the same content in various file formats and resolutions. I assume that this will most often be used for video, audio and image content.
A video/image could have an visual_size
or resolution
(which might be ambiguous as audio can also have a resolution). For a video/audio a bitrate
might be more interesting.
It’s great to consider that this would also work for documents which could offer various file formats like HTML, application/pdf
, application/rdf+xml
or application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.textapplication/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text
. This could be useful for a WebThing that generates reports or fancy log files.
As a developer I want to provide a URL to a binary file or stream as the value of a property so that I can have properties like images, audio or video.
This could be achieved by making the href of a property into a links array as per #73, similar to what was suggested in https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/223#issuecomment-422018047 e.g.
This could also allow for other binary encoded data as per #41
