Multimedia Retrieval

Abstract

The amount of metadata attached to multimedia collections that can be used for searching is very much dependent on the available resources within the organizations that create or own the collections. Large national audiovisual institutions, such as Sound&Vision in The Netherlands,4 put a lot of effort in archiving their assets and they label collection items with at least titles, dates and short content descriptions (descriptive metadata, see Chapter 2). However, many organizations that create or own multimedia collections lack the resources to apply even the most basic form of archiving. Certain collections may become the stepchild of an archive — minimally managed, poorly preserved, and hardly accessible.
