The document discusses IPTC's plans to publish their news codes and media codes as linked data on the semantic web. This includes converting their existing XML metadata into RDF using SKOS and Dublin Core vocabularies. They will link related concepts across datasets using URIs and RDF. This will allow connections between different but related pieces of data on the web. IPTC has already mapped some of their top-level subject codes to equivalent concepts in DBPedia and plans to engage the semantic web community for feedback on fully representing their codes and standards as linked data.
