Multimedia Semantics

The aim of this chapter is to sketch a semantic taxonomy of representational forms (or “sign types” in the terminology of semiotics) relevant for the compositional analysis, design, and indexing of multimodal multimedia, specifically, in the domain of instructional design of learning objects, and to contribute to current attempts to bridge the “semantic gap” between the technical and spatio-temporal description of media objects and the contextual perception and interpretation by users of their content.q

Content Semantics

This chapter presents the ISO/IEC MPEG-7 Multimedia Content description Interface Standard from the point of view of managing semantics in the context of multimedia applications. We describe the organisation and structure of the MPEG-7 Multimedia Description schemes which are metadata structures for describing and annotating multimedia content at several levels of granularity and abstraction. As we look at MPEG-7 semantic descriptions, we realise they provide a rich framework for static descriptions of content semantics. As content semantics evolves with interaction, the human user will have to compensate for the absence of detailed semantics that cannot be specified in advance. We explore the practical aspects of using these descriptions in the context of different applications and present some pros and cons from the point of view of managing multimedia semantics.

Emergent Semantics

The semantic gap is recognized as one of the major problems in managing multimedia semantics. It is the gap between sensory data and semantic models. Often the sensory data and associated context compose situations which have not been anticipated by system architects. Emergence is a phenomenon that can be employed to deal with such unanticipated situations. In the past, researchers and practitioners paid little attention to applying the concepts of emergence to multimedia information retrieval. Recently, there have been attempts to use emergent semantics as a way of dealing with the semantic gap. This chapter aims to provide an overview of the field as it applies to multimedia. We begin with the concepts behind emergence, cover the requirements of emergent systems, and survey the existing body of research.
