kempersc 0d5d48568d refactor(schema): centralize slot definitions per Rule 38
- Remove slot_uri, description, mappings from slot_usage sections
- Move these properties to centralized slot files in modules/slots/
- Keep only class-specific overrides in slot_usage (required, inlined, examples)
- Update 1,499 centralized slot files with enriched definitions
- Clean 188 class files

Violations fixed:
- slot_uri in slot_usage: 1,676 → 0
- description in slot_usage: 2,287 → 0 (moved to centralized)

Schema still validates: 816 classes, 2028 slots, 127 enums

description: 'Time-coded caption/subtitle content for video.
**DEFINITION**:
VideoSubtitle represents caption/subtitle tracks that provide time-coded
text synchronized with video playback. It extends VideoTranscript because
subtitles contain complete transcription PLUS temporal synchronization.
**INHERITANCE FROM VideoTranscript**:
VideoSubtitle inherits all transcript capabilities:
- `full_text`: Complete subtitle text concatenated
- `segments`: Time-coded entries (REQUIRED for subtitles)
- `includes_timestamps`: Always true for subtitles
- `content_language`: Language of subtitle text
- All provenance from VideoTextContent
And adds subtitle-specific properties:
- `subtitle_format`: SRT, VTT, TTML, SBV, ASS
- `is_closed_caption`: CC vs regular subtitles
- `is_sdh`: Subtitles for Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing
- `includes_sound_descriptions`: Non-speech audio descriptions
**SCHEMA.ORG ALIGNMENT**:
Maps to `schema:caption` property:
> "For downloadable machine formats (closed caption, subtitles etc.)
> use the MediaObject.encodingFormat property."
**SUBTITLE vs CAPTION vs TRANSCRIPT**:
| Type | Time-coded | Purpose | Audience |
|------|------------|---------|----------|
| Transcript | Optional | Reading, search | Everyone |
| Subtitle | Required | Language translation | Hearing viewers |
| Caption (CC) | Required | Accessibility | Deaf/HoH viewers |
| SDH | Required | Full accessibility | Deaf viewers, noisy environments |
**SDH (Subtitles for Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing)**:
SDH differs from regular subtitles by including:
- Speaker identification: "(John) Hello"
- Sound effects: "[door slams]", "[music playing]"
- Music descriptions: "♪ upbeat jazz ♪"
- Emotional cues: "[laughing]", "[whispering]"
**SUBTITLE FORMATS**:
| Format | Extension | Features | Use Case |
|--------|-----------|----------|----------|
| SRT | .srt | Simple, universal | Most video players |
| VTT | .vtt | W3C standard, styling | HTML5 video, web |
| TTML | .ttml/.dfxp | XML, rich styling | Broadcast, streaming |
| SBV | .sbv | YouTube native | YouTube uploads |
| ASS | .ass | Advanced styling | Anime, complex layouts |
**SRT FORMAT EXAMPLE**:
```
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,500
Welcome to the Rijksmuseum.
2
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:08,200
Today we''ll explore the Night Watch gallery.
```
**VTT FORMAT EXAMPLE**:
```
WEBVTT
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.500
Welcome to the Rijksmuseum.
00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:08.200
Today we''ll explore the Night Watch gallery.
```
**HERITAGE INSTITUTION CONTEXT**:
Subtitles are critical for heritage video accessibility:
1. **Accessibility Compliance**: WCAG 2.1, Section 508
2. **Multilingual Access**: Translate for international audiences
3. **Silent Viewing**: Social media, public displays, quiet spaces
4. **Search Discovery**: Subtitle text is indexed by platforms
5. **Preservation**: Text outlasts video format obsolescence
**YOUTUBE API INTEGRATION**:
Subtitle tracks from YouTube API populate:
- `subtitle_format`: Typically VTT or SRT
- `generation_method`: PLATFORM_PROVIDED or ASR_AUTOMATIC
- `content_language`: From track language code
- `is_auto_generated`: YouTube auto-caption flag
**SEGMENTS ARE REQUIRED**:
Unlike VideoTranscript where segments are optional, VideoSubtitle
REQUIRES the `segments` slot to be populated with VideoTimeSegment
entries that include start_seconds, end_seconds, and segment_text.

comments:
- Time-coded caption/subtitle content
- Extends VideoTranscript - subtitles ARE transcripts plus time codes
- 'Supports multiple formats: SRT, VTT, TTML, SBV, ASS'
- 'Accessibility metadata: CC, SDH, sound/music descriptions'
- Critical for heritage video accessibility compliance
