MC~2: A Framework and Service for MPEG-7 Content-Modelling Communities

摘要

Harnessing the power of Web communities, the effort on creating metadata can be greatly reduced. Collaborative communities can create, update and maintain content models for multimedia resources more effectively than single users working alone. This paper presents MC~2, a framework for MPEG-7 content-modelling communities. MC~2 is based on the challenges to collaborative multimedia content modelling reported in the research literature and the results of an experiment undertaken to investigate user behaviour in collaborative content modelling. An MC~2 service has also been implemented as a proof of concept for this framework, which is evaluated with a population of users and against the challenges.
