| Abstract | This research first proposes a general framework for retrieval and composition of temporal and spatial multimedia. This framework is based on MPEG-7 and SMIL standard those provide the tools to annotate the temporal and spatial relations inside multimedia and the tools to compose the multimedia, respectively. SMIL is selected to be one of the representation languages for the multimedia documents and presentations but it has not enough efficiency to handle the higher-level temporal and spatial relations. MPEG-7 provides a tool to annotate these kinds of relation e.g. multimedia segment decomposition tools, segment relation description tools, temporal segment relation description tools, spatial segment relation tools and spatio-temporal segment relation description tools. These tools used to decompose multimedia contents into segments and synchronize them together. Nevertheless, they should have more expressiveness power for retrieval and composition. Thus, the XDD theory is employed to enhance the language become expressible and computable. Furthermore, by employing XDD, constraints and axioms specifications are easily defined. This paper also defines a modeling language called SMILD that be able to represent temporal and spatial multimedia. |
