Links to video or audio #75

Closed akuckartz closed 9 years ago

akuckartz commented 10 years ago

This was suggested in https://github.com/opennorth/popolo-spec/issues/74#issuecomment-64418765 I suggest to continue the discussion here (separate from the other topics in that issue).

Some questions:

Some ontologies have been created for mime types etc. Some of that work could be used here.

Schema.org uses MediaObjects as the range of audio and video: http://schema.org/AudioObject http://schema.org/VideoObject

I think in most cases, people will just want to link directly to the audio/video however. For Popolo, the JSON Schema just requires that it's a URI, so it can either be a URI to RDF or to the actual media file.

If http://schema.org/video is used then the property should only link to VideoObject objects - at least in the JSON-LD version of Popolo.

Indeed

So let's add the video property to the Speech class.

I've added a note about the JSON-LD range for audio and video to the Serialization section.

The schema terms were the only existing terms that were found for relating a speech/work to its audio/video. The two possibilities were linking directly to media files and linking to metadata about media files. Schema.org links to metadata, so that's what we have in JSON-LD.

Unless I misunderstood the issue, I think this closes the issue.
