The RDF (Resource Description Framework) and OWL (Web Ontology Language)
specs just became full World Wide Web Consortium Recommendations. (01)
Press release:
http://www.w3.org/2004/01/sws-pressrelease (02)
I've pasted the details of the associated docs below (the original page has
links). One thing I hadn't noticed before, which is probably pretty relevant
here is that "Multimedia Collections" was one of the OWL use cases. (03)
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-webont-req-20040210/#usecase-multimedia (04)
Cheers,

The W3C RDF Core Group has produced six documents. Each is aimed at
different segments of those wishing to learn, use, implement or understand
RDF. The RDF Primer is an introduction to, and tutorial on how to use, RDF
and RDF Schema. RDF Concepts and Abstract Syntax specifies the fundamental
concepts and information model of RDF. The RDF/XML Syntax Specification
(Revised) defines how to write RDF in XML syntax. RDF Vocabulary Description
Language 1.0: RDF Schema describes how to use RDF to describe application
and domain specific vocabularies. RDF Semantics defines the mathematically
precise formal semantics of RDF and RDF Schema. RDF Test Cases defines a set
of test cases that illustrate aspects of the other specifications and may be
used for the automatic testing of implementations. (06)
The W3C Web Ontology Working Group has produced six OWL documents. Each is
aimed at different segments of those wishing to learn, use, implement or
understand the OWL language. Documents include - a presentation of the use
cases and requirements that motivated OWL - an overview document which
briefly explains the features of OWL and how they can be used - a
comprehensive Guide that walks through the features of OWL with many
examples of the use of OWL features - a reference document that provides the
details of every OWL feature - a test case document, and test suite,
providing over a hundred tests that can be used for making sure that OWL
implementations are consistent with the language design - a document
presenting the semantics of OWL and details of the mapping from OWL to RDF. (07)
