| Title: | Meta-data for Broadcasting |
| Event: | MPEG7 Workshop, ACM9, 16 February 1998, Brussels |
| Published: | minutes |
| Abstract: | The transition from analog to digital video is about to bring the expected convergence of television, computer and communication, with many possibilities for delivery of multimedia interactive services. However, current broadcast services only feature an EPG where interaction is limited to getting title of current and next program, if available. Metadata can be defined as control and descriptive elements associated to media content. In order to allow searches on programs, more structured metadata are needed in the broadcast streams. One of the goals of the STORit project is to provide low-cost solutions for enriching the service offered to consumers by the addition of metadata on the broadcast streams. This will allow more interactivity with the receiving system, without needing a return channel, and when a home storage device is available, more attractive features can be offered to consumers. Unfortunately there is no adequate standard to be used for metadata describing audio-visual content. MPEG7, formally called "Multimedia Content Description Interface", wishes to address this problem by providing a complete and yet flexible standard for the generation of metadata in all fields of multimedia content production and distribution. |

| Title: | Meta data and user profiles as base for REA agents |
| Event: | COST#254, International Workshop on Intelligent Communications and Multimedia Terminals, 19-21 Nov 1998, Ljubljana, Slovenia |
| Published: | Nov '98, proceedings pp 91-94 |
| Abstract: | Meta-data and user profiles are emerging standards, which should simplify work of agents. Remote Education Application (REA) is one of such applications, which can benefit from the use of agents. In the article first the situation in fields of meta-data and user profiles is discussed. It is followed by a suggestion of possible use of agents in REA, based on meta-data and user profiles. Three major tasks for agents in REA are identified |

| Title: | Using local storage in multimedia enriched education |
| Event: | COST#254, International Workshop on Intelligent Communications and Multimedia Terminals, 19-21 Nov 1998, Ljubljana, Slovenia |
| Published: | Nov '98, proceedings pp 153-156 |
| Abstract: | Recent development in the area of information science enables the use of new technologies in many areas, including the education. Lessons are prepared from different multimedia material to give learners better insight into the topic and to stimulate creativity in the educational process. The wide availability of the Internet access (and WWW) and the versatility of the Web browsers in supporting several multimedia formats stimulates educational application developpers to use the WWW as a main data source. In this way, the applications are platform independent and availability to the majority of potential learners, who may study either from their homes or in the classroom. The problem is that the remote access to multimedia data (like video) typically requires high-bandwidth network connection, which is usually not available at the learner's home. A possible solution is to store the majority of multimedia data locally and to access a significantly reduced set of data over a real-time network connection. The aim of this article is to present a Web based educational application, which uses a local mass storage device to store all multimedia data at the user's terminal. |
