FAQs
What are Video Key Moments?

A video key moment is a subsection of a video identified as having specific value in its own right, and marked with metadata to activate that value. It might support any number of viewer needs: "I want to learn, watch, go, do, buy,...".

What are the benefits of Key Video Moments?
  1. Better SEO: Increased surface area for SERPs.
  2. Better discovery: Users can get directly from SERPs to the moment they want.
  3. Better user journeys: Video Key Moments can be interconnected to drive rich serendipitous journeys.
  4. Better Monetization: Sponsors can surface their brand messages in context at the right moment.
What's the best way to create video key moments?

Use a "content graph" platform to publish video key moments (as well as your other media) so that you can interconnect all media assets using a single subject view (SSV). This drives the best context and meaning for your content, and as a result gives the best discovery and engagement capabilities.

Video Key Moments describe valuable areas within a video asset that can be identified and described with structured metadata. They are then used for business purposes to meet user needs: Find, buy, do, go, learn, share, and more.

In 2012, members of the Data Language team were involved in launching the first large scale content graph in Europe for the BBC 2012 Olympics.
