Abstract

The content–user gap is the difference between the limited range of content-relevant preferences that may be expressed using the MPEG-7 user interaction tools and the much wider range of metadata that may be represented using the MPEG-7 content tools. One approach for closing this gap is to make the user and content metadata isomorphic by using the existing MPEG-7 content tools to represent user (as well as content) metadata (Agius and Angelides 2006, 2007). Subsequently, user preferences may be specified for all content, without omission. Since there is a wealth of user preference and history metadata within the MPEG-7 user interaction tools that can usefully complement these specific content preferences, in this paper we develop a method by which all user and content metadata may be bridged.
