2 years ago The public comment period has extended beyond the end of the original 30 days, which was scheduled to end on July 23rd. Since it appears based on https://github.com/tdwg/ac/issues/207#issuecomment-896133243 that there aren't actually any objections to the proposals included in https://github.com/tdwg/ac/milestone/4, I'm ending the public comment period now.
This proposal is the result of an extended discussion by the Maintenance Group about developing a system to define and demarcate portions of a media item. For details, see the meeting notes. For examples of how to use the new terms, see the Regions of Interest (ROI) Recipes document.
Preamble
Because basic TDWG vocabularies do not include properties that generate machine-reasoned entailments, the metadata for
ac:hasROIandac:isROIOfdo not includeowl:inverseOfstatements. However, becauseac:hasROIandac:isROIOfare inverse properties, when a statement has been made that a media item includes a particular region of interest, a user can safely assert that the region of interest is located within the media item and vice versa.Proposed terms
Term name: ac:RegionOfInterest Type: rdfs:Class Label: Region of Interest Class Definition: A designated region of a media item bounded in dimensions appropriate for the media type. Notes: Dimensions may include spatial, temporal, or frequency bounds.
Term name: ac:hasROI Type: rdf:Property Label: Has Region of Interest Definition: A region of interest located within the subject media item. Usage: ac:hasROI is the inverse property of ac:isROIOf. Notes: Used to link a subject media item to an object region of interest.
Term name: ac:isROIOf Type: rdf:Property Label: Is Region of Interest of Definition: The media item within which a region of interest is located. Usage: ac:isROIOf is the inverse property of ac:hasROI. Notes: Used to link a subject region of interest to an object media item.
