Abstract

The digitalization of video and recent progress in semantic multimedia indexing and retrieval transform the workflow and tools involved in the information retrieval process of the broadcasters. To this end, we present in this paper a theoretical framework which addresses the semantic needs of this workflow from a semantic-centric view. Accordingly, we propose a pluggable middleware designed to provide the services covering the semantic needs spread all over the workflow in the system, including, the needs of independent software modules, of archivists, and of journalists. It is then shown how this can be employed in a real system to index and retrieve rushes material in a broadcaster.
