, linked data and broadcasting

The purpose of this article is to raise awareness of Semantic Web technologies and
on-going convergent developments between broadcasting and the Internet, i.e. in the
W3C, the EBU, TV-Anytime and IPTC. It provides an overview of the genesis of the
Semantic Web and its evolution towards Linked Data. Moreover, it introduces related
technologies and W3C specifications.
After providing basic know-how on ontology modelling, the authors present in detail
the W3C Media Annotation ontology, a metadata format for the description of media
resources on the Web. This is followed by the identification of the main advantages
and distinct features of RDF/OWL, and some disadvantages which are mainly due to
a lack of market maturity of related technologies.
Finally the big picture around interoperability between the W3C Media Annotation
Working Group (MAWG) and the main media metadata communities (EBUCore,
MPEG-7, TV-Anytime and NewsML-G2) is drawn at the eve of the introduction of
HTML5 and RDFa, two key enabling technologies.
