Still images:

  • VRA core
  • EXIF
  • NISO Z39.87
  • DIG35
  • PhotoRDF

Audio:

  • ID3
  • MusicBrainz
  • MusicXML

  • MXF (Material Exchange Format)

Multimedia presentations:

  • SMIL

Workflow or domain specific:

  • NewsML-G2
  • TVAnytime
  • MPEG-21 (hmmm... not really domain-specific, I think)

Other Multimedia Metadata Related Formats:

  • Dublin Core
  • XMP and IPTC Metadata for XMP

There is also a section that discusses some approaches for converting existing multimedia metadata into RDF / OWL, for the purpose of interoperability, reasoning, etc.

The references section could prove interesting.
