I am trying to create a fully qualified RDF using dublin core and dcterms to
describe video resources available on the net.
I'm having some difficultly figuring out how to handle multiple
descriptions. My example video is
http://fourthwall.creativecommons.org/honey/, and this is the fragment from
my description tag:
<dc:description>
<dc:type rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Text">
<dc:description xml:lang="en-US">
Final (quicktime) version of Honey, a film by David
Ball.
</dc:description>
<dcterms:abstract xml:lang="en-US">
A married couple have lost the ability to be
truthful with each other-except during rough,
anonymous role-playing sessions. An unmarried couple
demand scrupulous honesty from each other
and realize that they preferred the "necessary
fictions" of their relationship. Inspired by
Cassavetes' Faces and Vinterberg's Festen.
</dcterms:abstract>
</dc:type>
<dc:type rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Image">
<rdf:resource="http://fourthwall.creativecommons.org/images/honey.jpg" />
</dc:type>
</dc:description>
What I have here are two text descriptions, one being that of the instance
of this particular video file (the inside dc:description), the other being a
more precise abstract of the movie (the inside dcterms:abstract). In
addition, there is a photo associated with the movie. Ideally I'd like to
add more descriptions (director's descriptions, reified descriptions) as
well as other images, and maybe even things like a type MovingImage that
would be a trailer.
Obviously my RDF above is seriously not correct:
* Putting a dc:description inside a dc:description doesn't work, but I
wanted to separate have the inside instance text and the abstract text be at
the same level.
* I tried using <rdf:bag><rdf:li> structures, but I couldn't put dc:type
info into <rdf:li>
* The image isn't named as a kind of description like the two text types
are.
I'd apprecate any any advice or pointers to better examples.
