Session description

A huge amount of media content is produced every day, including TV and radio programs, ebooks, and news articles. These are provided through various online distribution and broadcasting services.

However, the reach of such content is limited by the means of provision. This reduces the opportunity for users to access information.

Content providers expect that content will be widely distributed among media industries and other industries such as tourism, education and health care, thus creating an ecosystem in which users consume various types of media content through their daily life.

In this session, we will share use cases and challenges where media content is utilized across services and industries and consider how metadata can facilitate an advanced and evolving collaboration among media industry.

The focus of the session will be on the possibilities of utilizing metadata across industries and its challenges by sharing ideas from different media industries. Technical discussion such as metadata formats, schemas and ontologies within and outside of the W3C is positioned as a future activity.
