Abstract

The amount of available audio data is increasing rapidly in consequence of advancements in media creation, storage and compression technologies. This rapid increase imposes new demands in audio data management and retrieval. In this work, we proposed an audio data model and repository model to fulfill user requirements in retrieving audio data from large collections. The proposed audio data repository model facilitates a multi-criteria query formulation and audio data retrieval where by audio can be queried both by its low- and high-level features. In the proposed model, a generic audio repository model that can handle a general audio as well as a sub-repository model that can manipulate speech through its constituent units is discussed. Finally, the viability of the proposed model is demonstrated by a prototype system developed for an application in the medical domain.
