rich metadata and context capturing through cidoc/crm and mpeg-7 interoperability
It is now accepted that powerful retrieval of multimedia data can be achieved with the integration of semantic and contextual metadata that relate to multimedia objects. In the case of objects related to culture and history there is a wealth of related information stored in Digital Libraries. CIDOC/CRM is a new, rapidly adopted standard in the field of cultural heritage that provides a very powerful model for encoding cultural heritage knowledge. In this paper we propose that knowledge is extracted and encoded in MPEG-7 multimedia object descriptions in an automatic manner so that the multimedia objects are augmented with very rich metadata descriptions coming from Digital Libraries. We analyze the mapping problem between CIDOC/CRM and MPEG-7 and we present the algorithms and a software system that supports this mapping.
