How NewsML-G2 simplifies and fuels news management.
NewsML-G2 is part of a new family of IPTC:http://www.iptc.org (International Press Telecommunications Council) standards, aiming at a straightforward management of text stories, photos, graphics, audio and video clips; it specifies how news may be described, packaged and exchanged in a business environment.
This specification also provides a way to define and link together the concepts and entities acting as subject of news, and offers a consistent solution for handling controlled metadata values (aka controlled vocabularies).
NewsML 1 versions are used by major news agencies around the world; the new specification aims at gaining a wider audience by offering both a simplified structure and many added features.
NewsML-G2 is built on a precise conceptual model, and is available as a formal ontology and a set of XML Schemas.
This presentation describes the underlying model driving the development of the global News Architecture as a framework for all G2-family standards, and how NewsML-G2 fulfils the aims of simplicity, flexibility, interoperability, and capability of interaction with the semantic Web.
