Abstract

Multimedia information has been increased in the recent years while new content delivery services enhanced with personalization functionalities are provided to users. Several standards are proposed for the representation and retrieval of multimedia content. This paper makes an overview of the available standards and technologies. Furthermore a prototype semantic P2P architecture is presented which delivers personalized audio information. The metadata which support personalization are separated in two categories: the metadata describing user preferences stored at each user and the resource adaptation metadata stored at the P2P network’s web services. The multimedia models MPEG-21 and MPEG-7 are used to describe metadata information and the Web Ontology Language (OWL) to produce and manipulate ontological descriptions. SPARQL is used for querying the OWL ontologies. The MPEG Query Format (MPQF) is also used, providing a well-known framework for applying queries to the metadata and to the ontologies.
