Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 21000-19 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 29, Coding of audio, picture, multimedia and hypermedia information.
ISO/IEC 21000 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology — Multimedia

Introduction
Today, many elements exist to build an infrastructure for the delivery and consumption of multimedia content.
There was, however, no “big picture” to describe how these elements, either in existence or under
development, relate to each other. The aim for the set of standards ISO/IEC 21000 has been to describe how
these various elements fit together. New standards as appropriate will be developed while other relevant
standards may be developed by other bodies.
The result is an open framework for multimedia delivery and consumption, with both the content creator and
content consumer as focal points. This open framework provides content creators and service providers with
equal opportunities in the ISO/IEC 21000-enabled open market. This will also be to the benefit of the content
consumer providing them access to a large variety of content in an interoperable manner. The vision for
ISO/IEC 21000 is to define a multimedia framework to enable transparent and augmented use of multimedia
resources across a wide range of networks and devices used by different communities.
This part of ISO/IEC 21000 specifies a machine readable ontology of the media value chain defining a minimal
set of kinds of intellectual property, the roles of the users interacting with them, and the relevant actions
regarding intellectual property among other features.

Part 19:
Media Value Chain Ontology
1 Scope
This Part of ISO/IEC 21000 describes MPEG-21 Media Value Chain Ontology (MVCO). The MVCO may be
used to capture knowledge about media value chains and to represent, in a computer readable way, concepts
in the domain and the relationships between those concepts.
This Part of ISO/IEC 21000 consists of seven Clauses and two Annexes. This technology is described in the
following sections of this Part of ISO/IEC 21000.
⎯ Model:
the model is described in Clause 6, by way of a narrative description of the Value Chain, its main
elements and relations.
⎯ Representation:
the MVCO has been formalised as a normative OWL Ontology, and the description of which is given in
this Clause. The description consists of listing the classes, the object properties, the datatype properties,
and the class individuals. Classes are described by giving the name, an English definition, the class
hierarchy, and the restrictions imposed on the class. The representation is given in Clause 7. Annex B
contains the normative OWL (XML/RDF) comprising the entire semantics of the elements in the model.
⎯ Ontology use:
an Informative section is provided with non normative descriptions of use, extensions and an API
(Annex A).
