Hi, I'm not happy with contact:webcam, as the contact namespace IMHO serves a different purpose. contact:webcam could define whom to contact for questions regarding the webcam, or whom to contact BY webcam (as contact:phone is for how to contact e.g. a shop by phone). 1) I would change the order, as it's part of the webcam information, not part of the contact information, which would lead to webcam:* 2) I would use url instead of contact, if it should refer to where the webcams output can be seen, whcih would lead to webcam:url=*
