All about MPEG-7
By Jason Meserve, NetworkWorld.com, 02/24/04
The folks at MetaFilter (one of my favorite community blogs) recently discussed the impending MPEG-7 standard. They focused more on the potential Big Brother aspect of the technology, but it's content description framework should be useful for those with large libraries of digital content and no easy way to search and organize it. For those wondering what MPEG-7 is:
MPEG-7, formally named “Multimedia Content Description Interface”, is a standard for describing the multimedia content data that supports some degree of interpretation of the information’s meaning, which can be passed onto, or accessed by, a device or a computer code. MPEG-7 is not aimed at any one application in particular; rather, the elements that MPEG-7 standardizes support as broad a range of applications as possible.
