RESUMO

In this work, a research was made in order to present Metadata (or data about data) and specifically Multimedia Metadata applications with the MPEG-7 standard as the basis. At first, the theory concerning Metadata in general and Multimedia Metadata in particular is presented, with the purpose to prepare the reader for its uses, specially with the current explosion of Media being made available online. The user must be able to locate the media he requires amongst this sea of information, and that is the Metadata main objective. With that in mind, MPEG-7 was developed by ISO (International Organization for Standardization). MPEG-7 is an open standard based on a XML (Extensible Markup Language) format that allows for improvements to be made continuously, which is very helpful considering new media is being made available to users every day. This work then presents the two types of Multimedia Metadata semantics, low level and high level. The low level semantics include concrete information about a movie or image like color, contrast, pixels, etc. On the other hand, high-level semantics take a more abstract approach, and take into consideration what is actually on a scene or image like rocks, sky, trees, actions, etc. The Semantic Gap between these two Metadata types presents a problem for most Metadata programming. This work?s main objective is to present how, using the IBM Videoannex application, developed based on the MPEG-7 standard, Multimedia Metadata of both low and high level semantics can be annexed to a MPEG-2 video file. Most of the annexation process can be made directly through the Videoannex application as will be shown, but several high level Metadata need to be inserted directly into the XML file. Since Multimedia Metadata uses are as vast as the media they represent, this work will present first an approach more general to any movie, but obviously much less complete and then a more focused approach, using a soccer match as target. Multimedia Metadata studies are still in the beginning stage, so this work doesn?t present an end approach, but more of a different option to the use of Multimedia Metadata, specially important with the current spread of the Internet and Digital TV
