Abstract

The number of newly generated multimedia documents (e.g. music, e-learning material, or 3D-graphics) increases year by year. Today, the workflow in digital libraries focuses on textual documents only. Hence, considering content-based retrieval tasks, multimedia documents are not analyzed and indexed sufficiently. To facilitate content-based retrieval and browsing, it is necessary to introduce recent techniques for multimedia document processing into the workflow of nowadays digital libraries. In this short paper, we introduce the PROBADO-framework which will (a) integrate different types of content-repositories --- each one specialized for a specific multimedia domain --- into one seamless system, and (b) will add features available in text-based digital libraries (such as automatic annotation, full-text retrieval, or recommender services) to non-textual documents. Existing libraries will benefit from the framework since it extends existing technology for handling textual documents with features for dealing with the non-textual domain.
