The goal of the M3O is to integrate the existing metadata standards and metadata formats rather than replacing them. To this end, the M3O provides a scaffold needed to represent multimedia metadata. Being an abstract model for multimedia metadata, it is not straightforward how to use and specialize the M3O for concrete application requirements and existing metadata formats and metadata standards. In this paper, we present a step-by-step alignment method describing how to integrate and leverage existing multimedia metadata standards and metadata formats in the M3O in order to use them in a concrete application. We demonstrate our approach by integrating three existing metadata models: the Core Ontology on Multimedia (COMM), which is a formalization of the multimedia metadata standard MPEG-7, the Ontology for Media Resource of the W3C, and the widely known industry standard EXIF for image metadata T3 - Arbeitsberichte, FB Informatik - 2010,8 KW - Multimedia Metadata Ontology KW - Core Ontology on Multimedia Y1 - 2010 UR - https://kola.opus.hbz-nrw.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/439 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:kola-4398 ER -
