Metadata in the Audiovisual Media Production Process

  • Chapter
Multimedia Semantics — The Role of Metadata

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 101))

This chapter examines the role of metadata in the production process of audiovisual media. We analyse the role of metadata in this process and discuss strengths and weaknesses of relevant standards w.r.t. metadata involved in the process. As no single standard fulfills all requirements we present strategies for combining and mapping different metadata standards, which are crucial for interoperability in the production process.
