Experiences of creating four video library collections with the Fischlar system

摘要

This paper describes how the FISCHLAR system, which supports indexing, browsing and searching through archives of digital video information, has been used to create four separate video libraries of information. We briefly introduce FISCHLAR and then describe its application in FISCHLAR-TV (a digital library of recorded broadcast TV content, updated regularly), FISCHLAR-News (a digital library of TV news, updated daily), and FISCHLAR-Nursing (a digital library of video teaching materials in the domain of nursing), and how FISCHLAR has also been used to provide searching through a collection as part of the TREC2002 video track interactive user experiments. Our experiences show that the range of user requirements for accessing video content seems to be much broader than for any other media, which makes the development of video access techniques very challenging.
