The EBUCore has been designed to make users benefit from the flexibility of RDF to adapt the names of Classes and properties to their respective needs. This means users are welcome to add their own subclasses (e.g. to define the most appropriate BusinessObjects or Resources or Agents) and subproperties.
The EBUCore ontology now includes the new EBUCore 3D object audio model (ADM).
