Interactive semantization of multimedia documents using RIA technologies
Interactive semantization of multimedia documents using RIA technologies
The capacities of contemporary and next generation mobile devices have an enormous impact on all aspects of consumption and creation of multimedia artefacts in daily life. Video capturing, editing and broadcasting were once quite professional tasks for films, journalism, and TVs etc. The prevailing Web 2.0 platforms such as YouTube and Google Videos have lowered the barriers to disseminate videos greatly. Also video production on both high and low level is getting more and more integrated in new entertainment devices and therefore available to a greater group of also not-professional users.
This stimulates the rapid increase on number and quality of online videos. In order to consider their use for example in future mobile learning environments semantically enriched content is desired. Current video editing technologies do not meet the expectation of users to freely interact from within the video with various external information sources such as websites, blogs, and images or audio files. Considering the use of semantically enriched video it is necessary to incorporate semantic information and to deploy links to (external) multimedia content within one video item.
Standardized Metadata integration as well as user-generated metadata is one contemporary approach in order to enhance video search and retrieval among a large number of videos as well as to link to various other sources of information available online. For this purpose simple annotation tools and methods are required to enable the user to realize the desired interaction.
During this bachelor thesis, the data sets are videos related to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bamiyan, Afghanistan which is known for the destroyed Great Buddha in 2001. The MPEG-7 multimedia metadata standards will be employed to describe the content and the technical features of the videos and to incorporate semantic information. The usage and mapping to other cultural heritage metadata standards should be considered as well. Rich Internet Application technologies like Microsoft Silverlight or Adode Flash could be one of the selected technologies to realize this annotation service.
We look forward to working with bachelor candidates like you who are initiative, inspired by Web 2.0 and multimedia technologies, and interested in cultural heritage. For more information, please contact:
