Reason being that (unless you want to limit your search to English sources only) you'll have to have a very multi-lingual thesaurus of resource types to back your service. And that only works if the sources use the same resource typing list as you do or you have mappings from their resource types to your resource types. Your best chance to build such a thesaurus would be to base it on Wikidata terms (or Dbpedia, but I think Wikidata has the momentum and is also CC0) which has labels in loads of languages for each term.\r\n\r\nThis is the main reason that we at Europeana (with metadata records in 31 languages or so) are \"stuck\" at the simple media types Text, Image, Video, Sound recording and 3D. We chose Text over Books as it's more generic and covers also magazines, articles, letters, or any other resource type dominated by text. We still haven't surmounted that challenge."}}
