Semantically Driven Multimedia Querying and Presentation

Abstract

Semantics can play an important role in multimedia content retrieval and presentation. Although a complete semantic description of a multimedia object may be difficult to generate, we show that even a limited description can be explored so as to provide significant added functionality in the retrieval and presentation of multimedia. In this chapter we describe the DelaunayView that supports distributed and heterogeneous multimedia sources and proposes a flexible semantically driven approach to the selection and display of multimedia content.
