Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the semantic aspects of an advanced, semantics-based broadcasting production support system designed to enable the creation of interactive multi-channel television shows. The "Intelligent Media Framework" forms the middleware of this system and was developed in the context of the European integrated project LIVE. The envisaged "intelligence" is based on formal, machine understandable descriptions of the content and the events. We demonstrate the successful usage of the system by a broadcasting corporation in a field trial with several hundred end consumers, conducted during the Olympic Games in Beijing, August 2008.
