1. Introduction

The Media Contract Ontology is an ontology for representing contracts on multimedia content, in the framework of MPEG-21.
MCO is specified as a Core ontology (MCO-CORE) and an extension with the vocabulary for the exploitation of intellectual property rights (MCO-IPRE)

The base URI of the MCO-CORE ontology is:

urn:mpeg:mpeg21:mco:core:2012#

The base URI for the extension on exploitation of intellectual property rights (MCO-IPRE ontology):

urn:mpeg:mpeg21:mco:ipre:2012#

The following namespaces are used in the document.
