Smart content factory: assisting search for digital objects by generic linking concepts to multimedia content Tobias Bürger, Erich Gams, and Georg Güntner   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Poster Papers Abstract Search, retrieval and navigation in audiovisual repositories is a task common to all media asset management systems: Users are supported by a wide range of features which are traditionally based on full text search and metadata queries. In this paper we describe an approach to superimpose a semantic indexing infrastructure over the media assets and the metadata associated with them. The infrastructure is based on formal knowledge models and facilitates the use of further navigation dimensions: By identifying semantic concepts we are able to create a dynamic navigation structure which is based on the underlying knowledge model and the conceptual relations defined therein. ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
