<div>Dear MEDIN Standards Working Group,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have an action to include the term ‘Audio’ as one of the data format types that MEDIN has in its vocabulary, M01. See the hyperlink below for details of current entries.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="https://www.bodc.ac.uk/data/codes_and_formats/vocabulary_search/M01/"><font color="blue"><u>https://www.bodc.ac.uk/data/codes_and_formats/vocabulary_search/M01/</u></font></a> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>For audio, I propose as a first draft of the definition:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“Audio: Recordings, in either digital or analog form, of vibrations which cause a periodic disturbance in the pressure or density of a fluid or the elastic strain of an object and travel as longitudinal waves”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would be grateful for any comments relating to this definition.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sean Gaffney</div>
