Hello Dzung, sorry for jumping in, but from http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2009/dap/api-reqs/Overview-FPWGN.html?rev=1.6&content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8#gallery "Exposing metadata is tricky, often giving a choice between creating an endless ontology or building an open-ended system that guarantees no interoperability. " I am not sure what you are looking for: - an ontology defining mappings between existing metadata (being defined by media annotations working group (MAWG)) - new metadata properties defined as an ontology (not defined by MAWG) - an API which reflects the mapping of existing properties in the ontology to access methods for metadata (provided by MAWG) - an API for low-level reading mechanisms (not provided by MAWG - e.g. for XML-based formats provided by an XML-parser)
