Video Object

This is an implementation of schema.org VideoObject.

In Stencila Schema it is used both as media metadata and as rendered document content, especially in figures and multimedia documents. It inherits file and media capabilities from MediaObject while adding video-specific descriptive properties.

Key properties include caption, thumbnail, and transcript, with broader media metadata inherited from MediaObject.

Analogues

The following external types, elements, or nodes are similar to a VideoObject:

  • schema.org VideoObject

  • HTML <video>

  • JATS <inline-media>: Closest JATS analogue for embedded video-like media, though JATS uses a generic media element rather than a dedicated video element.
