Abstract
MPEG-7 provides a set of tools for the definition of a standard description for multimedia information. It uses XML Schema as its own Description Definition Language (DDL) to provide an ability to extend standard description to user application domains. However, due to its lack of expressive power, XML Schema cannot represent the implicit information of multimedia contents and hence cannot yield derived descriptions. In order to enhance the expressive power of multimedia annotations—described in terms of an XML document—and to maintain the advantages of XML Schema, there appears to be a need of a new schema language which can handle those abilities. XML Declarative Description (XDD) is a representation framework which can encode any XML document and application (e.g., XML Schema, RDF, RDF Schema, and DAML+OIL). It enhances XML expressive power by employing Declarative Description (DD) theory and also provides a mechanism for reasoning about new information from existing data. Moreover, it can specify constraints as well as ontological axioms. Thus, it is employed to construct a schema language for MPEG-7.
