Abstract :
There´s a gap in consumer communications on how networks, devices, and services handle and identify space & time in media resources in the Web. W3C´s Media Fragments URI specification, which we edited and contributed to over the last couple of years, not only bridges this gap by homogeneously opening up time-related media to the Internet crowd, but also makes time-related annotation feasible for hyperlinking into that media, thus finally also providing the necessary support for this already omnipresent `third dimension´ time into the Internet. As such, this uniform approach using the standardised (semantic) web technology stack will improve search, discovery, usage, management, security, and linking of related media resources and its fragments.
