Adding Formal Semantics to MPEG-7: Designing a Well-Founded Multimedia Ontology for the Web
نویسندگان
چکیده
Semantic descriptions of non-textual media available on the web can be used to facilitate retrieval and presentation of media assets and documents containing them. While technologies for multimedia semantic descriptions already exist, there is as yet no formal description of a high quality multimedia ontology that is compatible with existing (semantic) web technologies. We explain the complexity of the problem using an annotation scenario. We then derive a number of requirements for specifying a formal multimedia ontology, including: compatibility with MPEG-7, embedding in foundational ontologies, and modularisation including separation of document structure from domain knowledge. We then present the developed ontology and discuss it with respect to our requirements.

Adding Multimedia to the Semantic Web: Building an MPEG-7 ontology
For the past two years the Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG), a working group of ISO/IEC, have been developing MPEG-7 [1], the "Multimedia Content Description Interface", a standard for describing multimedia content. The goal of this standard is to develop a rich set of standardized tools to enable both humans and machines to generate and understand audiovisual descriptions which can be used ...
متن کاملMPEG-7 based Multimedia Ontologies: Interoperability Support or Interoperability Issue?
MPEG-7 can be used to create complex and comprehensive metadata descriptions of multimedia content. Since MPEG-7 is defined in terms of an XML schema, the semantics of its elements have no formal grounding. In addition, certain features can be described in multiple ways. In order to make MPEG-7 interoperable with domain-specific ontologies, the semantics of the MPEG-7 descriptors also need to b...

متن کاملSemantic Integration and Retrieval of Multimedia Metadata
The amount of digital media that has to be actually managed has already become unaffordable without fine-grained computerised support. This requires an extensive use of multimedia metadata. MPEG-7 is the greatest metadata framework created to date but it is based on XML Schemas. Therefore, its does not have formal semantics, which makes difficult to manage, extend and integrate it. Consequently...
متن کاملTowards Bridging the Semantic Gap in Multimedia Annotation and Retrieval
We present a systematic approach to the design of multimedia ontologies based on the MPEG-7 standard and domain-specific vocabularies. The limitations of MPEG-7 in describing the semantics of highly structured domains like sports or medicine has led to an upsurge of interest in adopting an integrated approach to the design of ontologies. We follow suit and use MPEG-7 to model structural and low...
