New "Assets" or "Resources Model for Consideration

Hi team - We have a challenge that I hope you all can help with. Since the development of DigitalGov.gov we realize that a lot of the resources (laws & regs/guidelines, tools and reference materials) we’ve curated and provide to agencies:

• aren't always owned by us (we link to laws / memos on OMB, WH etc)


• aren't (in a lot of cases) able to be searched (pdfs / docs)


• are popular and not easily findable


• are in need of better organization


• and / or a combination of these

We have been calling these bits of information “assets” and they include: documents, pdfs, powerpoints presentations, video, audio, photo, and outside links to these same items.

We took a stab at creating a template and realized that we were creating "fields" and essentially it could be a content model. We looked at the current article and we don’t think that it applies in this situation.

I have talked this through with @jpgsa and he suggested I take a look at Schema.org to see if there is an equivelent. It occurs to me that the Creative Works model or perhaps more specifically the Media Works (specific types below) might work well.
More specific Types:
AudioObject
DataDownload
ImageObject
MusicVideoObject
VideoObject

Ultimately, we envision a page for each asset with the minimal but most important information for the customer, tag the page, and use feeds and queries to pull the information via "search" specific and unique to the assets.

Does anyone have a similar approach or need like this? Also, just throwing it out there, do you all think this would be a good government-wide model?

Please let me know if you have questions about what we are trying to do.
