Creative Work Ontology
This is the model we use to express the minimum metadata necessary to express a piece of creative content in the platform. The creative work ontology is continuously evolving based on our clients' requirements. There is a core class in this model, which is the CreativeWork class and properties that support information the LDP clients need to build their products such as title, thumbnail, URL e.t.c.
Introduction
This ontology defines the terms required to describe the creative works produced by the BBC and their associated metadata. This ontology powers reading and writing creative works in the triplestore using tags associated with them (about) their more specific types (BlogPost, NewsItem, Programme) and audiences (audience).
