Exploring Audiovisual Archives through Aligned Thesauri

Thesauri have since long been a key element for uniform search and annotation on large collections, such as the media collections preserved at Sound and Vision and VIAA. This talk will outline the work that has been done in a joint project between Sound & Vision and VIAA.

Semantic Requirements for Managing Audiovisual Media

Audio and moving images are set apart from any other content by the adherence to a time line. As with any other media, we may state globally what a story is about. If we want to be more specific, we can state this by chapter or section of a text for anything that is written on paper. To make an equivalent statement about the songs of an Album, or if we want to locate King Marke finding Tristan and Isolde red-handed, which happens from bar 101 in the second act of Wagner's iconic opera, we need to align this i.e. with time elapsed since the start.

Semantic technologies gaining attention in the broadcasting industry

After nearly 10 years of evangelisation, semantic technologies is now being part of the broadcasting landscape. Broadcasters, manufacturers and asset management solution providers’ attention has risen to an unequalled level of awareness. The EBU welcomes this evolution and has developed active collaboration with key industry actors. The EBU is promoting several solutions for the semantic management of audio-visual content and live sport data.
