Domains

Domains and grouping as defined and described in EBU Tech 3351 document.

planning

where Resonance from the Audience is analysed to understand the demand which in turn is met by a strategy in form of a PublicationPlan, leading to the commissioning of production (ProductionOrders) and coordination of publication (Campaigns).

commercial

where Contracts, intellectual property and other rights associated to content and its manifestations are being managed. The central class of the Legal Domain is the Asset, which establishes the association of an EditorialObject with Intellectual Property and Rights related information.

editorial

where concept related, and content related information is being managed. Furthermore, all editing decisions are represented here. The EditorialObject is the central class of the domain. It can be grouped, and it can be ordered on a timeline through TimelineTrack. Associated objects like Location or Event are represented.

participation

where actors/contributors, like persons and companies are described through Agent, Role, Person and Organisation.

production

where Production Orders are realised through the acquisition of the necessary MediaResources (e.g. manufacturing an object through the ProductionJob with ProductionDevices, purchase or retrieval of material) according to the ProductionPlan. MediaResources ready for publication use the Essence class for connecting the content to a certain publication.

distribution

where any form of publishing, play-out or distribution is covered. The central Class is the PublicationEvent that plays out an Essence, (i.e. the media object that was the result of the ProductionJob.) through a Service that is consumable on a type of device represented by a ConsumptionDeviceProfile.

consumption

where the consumption of media is modelled. Important classes in this domain is the ConsumptionEvent, that correspondents with the PublicationEvent in the DistributionDomain.A Consumer uses a Consumption Device to access the Service and possibly create ResonanceEvents. Account is a Consumer’s registration with the media enterprise to handle authorisation, personalisation, monetization, etc.

financial

where cost and value of productions are modelled in a very simple fashion.

audit

where auditing is defined to measure the quality of content (editorial or technical), against contractual rules and expressed through Measures. An AuditJob results in an AuditReport.
