Content-based Querying Embedded in Multimedia Presentations

This paper presents a solution for integrating content-based multimedia retrieval with semantics-based content selection techniques, content adaptation, composition and delivery. The integration of several approaches of these domains provides users of digital information systems with a powerful toolkit. We focus on the generation of multimedia presentations and templates that can be reused. In this context, we propose a novel approach where content-based querying is embedded into multimedia presentations. Queries are executed when presentations are consumed. Hence, the requested media data are retrieved ad hoc.
