Abstract

This paper describes a solution for the organization andmanagement of multimedia collections in digital libraries.Video U-DL-A (VUDLA) is an extension to a digital librarythat allows for storage, indexing and annotation ofmultimedia documents. It functions in such a way that text-and image-based queries can be issued in order to retrievespecific scenes from digital video collections. Technologiessuch as image and speech processing, video streaming,multimedia databases, information retrieval and graphicaluser interfaces are integrated to produce a novelmultimedia, multimodal environment which re-valuates textas an important medium for knowledge transmission. Wehave developed a fully operational testbed to exploremultimedia data properties and organization possibilitiesas well as a wide range of practical applications.
