XML descriptions need to be optimized to speed up the matching and retrieval processes for video content.
Introduction
The search of audiovisual information becomes today a peremptory necessity for a number of applications (for example: movie production) that require frequent accesses to audiovisual content. The search of information requires audiovisual content descriptions, and preferably content descriptions based on a standard, such as XML. The standard is necessary to share content descriptions by different search tools. XML is suitable to represent the complexity of descriptions; however, it is not suitable to support efficient matching and retrieval. Therefore, XML descriptions need to be optimized to speed up the matching and retrieval processes. And this is the scope of this article: developing a method that deals with this shortcoming of XML descriptions.
The method proceeds in two steps: Firstly, it...
