[Tracker] Suggestion of things to add to the nmm ontology

["Florent Viard" <fviard lacie com>]

Hi,

I'm currently working on a MP4 (audio/video) extractor for tracker, and 
so I came to the idea of the following changes in the nmm ontology :

For the audio aspect:
 nmm:musicPiece :
    - Add an integer diskNumber
    - Add a boolean isPodcast
    - Add a link to the RadioStation (to link the podcast to the source 
where it could have been recorded)

 nmm:MusicAlbum :
    - Add an integer albumDiskCount
    - Add a boolean isCompilation
    - Add a string     synopsis or description  (It is not the same as 
nie:comment, Some times you want to add some *summary*/*history* to the 
album, like the text that is present in the book associated with a cd, 
when you buy one).

(Maybe synopsis could also be added to musicPiece as when we think about 
a podcast or an Audio Book for example)

For the video aspect:
 - Add a string episodeId ( It is different from the episodeNumber. It 
is a little like the musicPiece unique id, but in the context of the 
videoAlbum. )
- Add an integer chapterCount  (To store the number of chapter that 
could have a video)
- Add a boolean isPodcast (don't know if this one is really needed, but 
could serve one day)
- Add soundtrack a link to a musicPiece
And/or - soundtrackAlbum a link to a musicAlbum.
- Add TVStation  a link to a container (described in the following)

TVStation:
Would be similar to RadioStation. (Could we already use nie:title for 
their name?)

videoAlbum:
Should be modified to be similar to have VideoAlbum as range instead of 
nfo:MediaList to be similar to MusicAlbum.
With at least:
- A string synopsis
- an integer albumEpisodeCount
- an integer albumSeasonCount
and could have like musicalbum:
albumArtist, albumDuration, albumTitle,  and MPAARating, category, isSeries

Is there already a field in an ontology that we could use for 
userrating, copyright string, license?

And maybe it could be good to add a "year" field in nmm or in nfo:media, 
as often the media meta tags only reference the year of the media and 
not the full date, and so, using/filling the complete creation date 
could a filling of incorrect values, as we will choose randomly the 
other part of the date like saying 2010 correspond to 01-01-2010.


Thanks,
