Brainstroming for Media Microformat

Here are some examples of elements that might be included because they seem to come up often in user generated media publishing, either on their own blogs or on service sites, include the following:

Base elements:

• Title
• Html URL
• Media URL
• Image URL (video)
• Tags
• Description / summary
• Quotes (subsets of the object: a video quote and tags/description associated with it, a region annotation note for a photo, or the quote of a podcast and tags/description -- the detail for these subsets exists in the 'more info' section below)
• Creator
• License (defaults to copyright, if none exists, but it's there, by US law, and many other areas of the world)

and for audio and visual:

• Duration

Other info: (This is not the same for all types of media, and is published by users in very limited ways in practice, or is captured from the device or service or in some way, invisible to the user, and therefore often depends on a service to pick it up. It should only appear in a publishing tool under 'more data' at then end, for enthusiast users.)
