What is OMM?

OMM - Online Media Metadata - is a simple and succinct syntax for describing, viewing and sharing specific online media content in mediabytes.

Playing a YouTube or MP3 clip is the same as sampling is the same as sharing when using mediabytes.

Meant for sharing fun and knowledge with friends and strangers as well as academic referencing.

The OMM tag syntax

1. tags are separated by dots
2. title-case tags are titles
3. YouTube time code tags are such
4. remaining tags are ordinary tags
5. y.youtubehash or b.bitlyhash is mandatory
6. all other tags are optional

The yota objects: Yota, Cue, Sample, Mixtape

1. a yota with no start code is a Yota object (the original YouTube video)
2. a yota with a start time code is a Cue object (the YouTube video with a start time)
3. a yota with start and end time codes is a Sample object (the YouTube video clip)
4. a Mixtape is a collection of Yota, Cue, Sample, and bit objects

Check out the mediabyte documentation for details and examples.

The bit objects: Link and Mp3 (beta)

1. a bit.Link is a bitly link: b.bitlyhash (general link support)
2. a bit can have title and tags (just like the yota objects)
3. a bit can be a yota tag y.youtubehash.b.bitlyhash or stand alone
4. a bit.Mp3 - a bit.Link with the tag mp3 - is a bitly MP3 link (MP3 support)
5. a bit.Mp3 has 0-2 time codes, yota-style handling and VLC playback
