3. Study, design and implementation of an Infrastructure for MultiMedia MetaData Management MultiMedia MetaData Management - 4M - E-Team “Integration of structural and semantic models for multimedia metadata management”

4. Multimedia Metadata Background Multimedia data coming from different fields Metadata production, storing, retrieve, elaboration Key tools: MPEG-7 provides detailed and multimedia specific metadata descriptors. Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL, etc), promoted by the W3C, enable large scale interoperability of structured knowledge repositories. RDF
