Events and Annotations

[cconcolato]

There are many annotations that one could attach to an event:

• language
• languageSource (enumeration)
• scene information (free form text)
• plot significance (enumeration)
• on/off screen (enumeration)
• type of event (on screen, dialog, description, ...)
• emotion (probably enumeration)
• ...

We have several tools at our disposal:

• a new attribute in the daptm namespace
• a ttm:desc element with daptm:descType attribute.
• a metadata element
• attributes/elements in foreign namespaces
• ...

For the values in the elements or in the attributes, we have the choice between:

• single value or multiple values (space separated, comma separated, ...)
• each value being: a general string, from an enumeration in some registry, or from an enumeration in this spec

I wonder if we shouldn't have a section "Script Event Annotations", with an introduction describing the general design principles and then sub sections for each annotation.

Also consider ttm:item as a general purpose tool for this.
