Retrieving Film Heritage Content Using an MPEG-7 Compliant Ontology

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of an MPEG-7 based Multimedia Retrieval System for Film Heritage. The multimedia content has been indexed using an Annotation Tool based on MPEG-7 standard. Moreover, an MPEG-7 Compliant Ontology in OWL DL, which is briefly explained in this paper, has been specially developed to fulfil the requirements of the CINeSPACE project. This ontology has been instantiated so that the retrieval process can be handled. The system has been assessed during the validation of the CINeSPACE project.
