As expected, the Media Annotations WG has published a First Public
Working Draft (FPWD) of their API for Media Resource 1.0:
[[
http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-mediaont-api-1.0-20091020/
Abstract
This specification defines a client-side API to access metadata
information related to media resources on the Web. The overall
purpose of the API is to provide developers with a convenient access
to metadata information stored in different metadata formats. The API
will be introduced in an abstract manner using the interface
definition language Web IDL. Thereby, the Media Ontology Core
Properties will be used as a pivot vocabulary in the API.
]]
This spec is supposed to satisfy the requirements of WebApps' so-
called MAXIM deliverable:
[[
http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/charter/#deliverables
Metadata Access and Extensible Information for Media (MAXIM)
a generic API for accessing metadata embedded in or linked to
media files
