A broadcast event. Subsumes the event concept defined in the Event ontology. A broadcast is associated with a service, and with a particular version of an episode.
An organization responsible of some broadcasting services. It can hold a set of services and outlets.
A category provides a way of classifying a set of programmes. Such classifications can be performed according to multiple dimensions and taxonomies, e.g. genre, format, places, people, subjects...
A physical channel on which a broadcast occurs. A single outlet or service can be associated with multiple channels. For example, Radio 4 LW broadcasts on Analogue Long Wave and on Digital Satellite.
A particular clip, e.g. `Clip of Top Gear, first series'
A particular episode, e.g. `Top Gear, first episode of the first series' or the film 'A Walk in the Sun' (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00gfzdt)
Specifies a broadcast as being the first one of a particular version.
Anchor point for format taxonomies, similar to po:Genre for genre taxonomies. Instances of this concept include documentaries, talk shows, animation, etc.
An anchor point for a programmes' genre taxonomy, e.g. 'Drama'/'Biographical'.
Radio services aiming at a local coverage.
Classification of an episode version's region corresponding to a musical track being played.
Radio services aiming at a national coverage.
An `original' version, the legacy version of a particular episode.
Outlet of a particular service, e.g. Radio 4 LW and FM for Radio 4. Outlets are services which do not have variations. The criterion for an outlet is its timeline. For example, Radio 4 LW broadcasts on Analogue Long Wave, but also on Digital Satellite. It corresponds to just one outlet, as they are simulcasts. The two physical channels for broadcasts correspond to po:Channel.
A programme, can either be a brand, a series or an episode
A programme that can have versions, and as such can be broadcast or made available on-demand, e.g. a clip or an episode.
Radio services aiming at a regional coverage.
Specifies a broadcast as being a repeat.
Classification of an episode version's region, e.g. 'this track was played at that time'.
A broadcasting service. Instances of this concept include BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio 4, BBC News, etc. A service is a collection of outlets which contain common material, but with some variations, e.g. by region. Hence, a service may have multiple outlets (po:Outlet), e.g. BBC Radio 4 has BBC Radio 4 LW and BBC Radio 4 FM. A hierarchy of services types is defined within this ontology, e.g. radio and TV. A service that is a master brand only (a service that only commissions programmes, e.g. BBC Switch) should be an instance of the top-level po:Service.
