Abstract

In this article we present a proposal for sequence based audiovisual markup and retrieval which can be applied to information management in television. To achieve this we analyze and study audiovisual information on TV, and from this knowledge we generate a vocabulary for markup which might ease and improve information retrieval, providing direct access to sequences according to parameters such as distinguishing among visualized information and referenced information, which provides a working framework better adapted to the domain of audiovisual documentation.

Abstract

Digital images are all around and their number increases every day. However, this growing volume contrasts with a poor description in the vast majority of cases. The value of a picture to illustrate the original event, or to be used in other contexts or situations, is based on an appropriate description. The purpose of this paper is to reduce the difficulties encountered in describing images by categorizing them and the agencies, specifying uses, and exemplifying descriptive differences. The implementation of these recommendations improves the quality of records, helps in successful retrieval, and increases positive evaluations of web sites by clients and users.
