Abstract: The Audiovisual Core term subjectOrientation describes the viewing orientation relative to an organism or part of an organism depicted in a media item or region of interest. The subjectOrientation Controlled Vocabulary provides terms that should be used as values for ac:subjectOrientation and its literal-valued analog ac:subjectOrientationLiteral.

1 Introduction (informative)

This document includes terms intended to be used as controlled values for the Audiovisual Core terms ac:subjectOrientation and ac:subjectOrientationLiteral. A JSON-LD representation (including translations to multiple languages) of this SKOS Concept Scheme is available. For more information about how to use this vocabulary, see the subjectPart and subjectOrientation Controlled Vocabularies User Guide.

1.1 Status of the content of this document

Section 1 is informative (non-normative).

Section 2 is normative except as noted.

Section 3 is informative.

In Section 4, the values of the Term IRI, Definition, and Controlled value are normative. The value of Usage (if it exists for a given term) is normative. The value of Has broader concept is normative. The values of Term Name are non-normative, although one can expect that the namespace abbreviation prefix is one commonly used for the term namespace. Label and the values of all other properties (such as Examples or Notes) are non-normative.

1.2 RFC 2119 key words

The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

1.3 User feedback reports

For perspective on the development of this vocabulary enhancement, refer to the final Feature Report used to determine the requirements for the vocabulary. The Implementation Experience Report was published in Biodiversity Information Science and Standards 7:e94188 and is available at http://doi.org/10.3897/biss.7.94188

2 Use of Terms

2.1 Relationship of value types to property terms

In accordance with the Audiovisual Core Term List document, unabbreviated term IRIs MUST be used as values of the property ac:subjectOrientation. Controlled value strings SHOULD be used as values of the property ac:subjectOrientationLiteral.

2.2 Relationships with other concept schemes and collections (informative)

Particular ac:subjectOrientation values are appropriate for some ac:subjectPart values. The relationships between concepts in these two schemes are described by a JSON-LD serialized SKOS Collection for each subject part that designates which subject orientations are appropriate for that part. Similarly, JSON-LD serialized SKOS Collections have been established for some organism groups to indicate which subject parts exist for members of those groups. These collections are provided to aid application developers in filtering the concepts that should be presented to users and they may also be used for validation.

Human-readable collection lists of controlled value strings are available for subjectPart and subjectOrientation.

Neither of these Collections are normative and they are maintained outside of the Audiovisual Core standards framework in order to make their development agile.
