Why use RDF in SMPTE ?
- Issues
- Harmonization and reuse of existing metadata formats/ontologies
(SMPTE, EBU, MPEG-7, ...)
- Integration of SMPTE-specific vocabulary/ontologies
- RDF designed for that !
- Vocabulary merging/multiple vocabularies was initial goal
- OWL allows concept mapping
- Tie into Semantic Web
- Wide commercial and open-source support
- Enables innovative software development
