** (structured) annotations that describe the scene and semantics
** similar to audio description, but tends to be structured along different fields
** may also be a random note left by somebody to leave a comment
Discussion:** requires there are different types of annotations that are typically handled differently** RDF type annotations, e.g. is not rendered as text, but available for machine processing only** visible annotations are short pieces of text that are attached through speech/thought bubbles, or as notes ** visible annotations require a time range, on-screen position, text styling, and annotation box styling** visible annotations could also contain graphics, but mostly simple formatting such as for notes is required

** sequence of images that represent the original way in which the video was scripted
** if it is possible to align it with the resulting video, provides insights into the video planning and production

** textual description of everything that happens in the video
** basically similar to what captions and audio annotations provide together
** it is probably better to keep as much of the different types of annotations separate as possible and call the complete textual annotations available to a audio/video file its "transcript"
** if it cannot be time-aligned with the video, it should be referenced separately (text with url on webpage)
Discussion:
** transcripts are mostly not displayed on top of the video, but in parallel to it with the current text block selected in sync to the video
** rich formatting is possible
** wiki-style editing is often encouraged
** often there are hyperlinks in transcripts

==== titles / credits ====
** most videos have titles and/or credits at the start/end respectively
** where it is possible to make these available as separate text rather than burnt in (i.e. open), they should be made part of a transcript

==== image maps ====
** advertisers in particular want to mark regions on online video with hyperlinks and some scroll-over text, which is linked to the region
** there is the active region and there is the region for the scroll-over text
** there can be text & graphics in the scroll-over text box
** can be placed anywhere on top of the video screen
** the active region is typically empty and lights up upon scroll-over
