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.
Amendment 4 to ISO/IEC 15938-5:2003 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1,
Information technology, Subcommittee SC 29, Coding of audio, picture, multimedia and hypermedia
information.
This Amendment provides means for describing a person beyond the context of the Person DS. The
description especially targets the annotation of a person's interests in the context of social networking
platforms as well as the collaborative review and rating of media entities.

top-level types are defined in this subclause:
 CompleteDescriptionType (abstract): top-level type for complete descriptions.
o ContentDescriptionType (abstract): top-level type for complete descriptions of
multimedia content.
 ContentEntityType: top-level type for describing multimedia content entities such
as images, videos, audio, collections, and so forth.
 ContentAbstractionType (abstract): top-level type for describing abstractions of
multimedia content:
 SemanticDescriptionType: top-level type for describing semantics of
multimedia content.
 ModelDescriptionType: top-level type for describing models of multimedia
content.
