This ontology aims at providing a simple vocabulary for describing programmes. It covers brands, series (seasons), episodes, broadcast events, broadcast services, etc. Its development (as well as the BBC programmes RDF service, also powered by this D2R mapping) was funded by the BBC, and is heavily grounded on previous programmes data modelling work done there.
This documentation page is a first draft. All feedback on either the ontology or this page is welcomed! Feel free to email the authors mentioned aboved.
The design and layout of this ontology document is based on the Music Ontology and FOAF Vocabulary specification documents, and was generated using the following hand-tuned onto_spec.pl SWI-Prolog script and HTML templates.
