Show Ontology x PeriodO Crosswalk v001

Ten PeriodO-conformant period definitions in two authorities: five narrative-era periods (story time Olivia crawls through, one per omc:NarrativeScene) and five capture/playback-medium periods (historical availability window of each capture technology, per the locked Technical Era Spec), joined by oscx:depictedVia and bound to the production graph by UUID.

Audience: MovieLabs / EBU / RAI standards reviewers + osc pipeline.

Key claim

Demonstrates a real OMC v2.8 gap: story time has no OMC class (the graph’s time:hasTemporalExtent ProperIntervals are empty blank nodes), while capture time IS modeled (omc:ProductionScene, slates, camera metadata). PeriodO fills the narrative side; medium periods formalize the production side.

Period examples

  • p-osc-narr-sc1: Route 66 origin era, Chicago, as-scripted 1926 (1926-1927; deny 1927-1929), ortho35
  • p-osc-narr-sc2: Peak Route 66 Midwest era, Ariston Cafe, ~1935-1948 (1935-1938; deny 1946-1948), pan35
  • sc3/sc4 deliberately array-valued: sc03 opens in sc02 medium, transitions to Kodachrome as color bleeds from rainbow; sc04 montage drifts Kodachrome -> VHS -> digital.

Research corpus per period

Verified facts with sources and status, anachronism deny-lists, genAI prompt conditioning, signage generations, hero locations, sound palettes.
