Multimedia Audio-visual Retrieval Service

Objective

- To define and standardise an open multimedia retrieval service suitable for a number of application domains.
- To define a network independent service architecture.
- To propose a network architecture taking into account public networks suitable for the service.
- To gain expertise in application development and service provision.
- To broaden the acceptance of the MHEG standard among the IT players for retrieval services
An open multimedia retrieval service suitable for a number of application domains has been defined along with a network independent service architecture. A network architecture has been proposed taking into account public networks suitable for the service. Stand alone application mock ups have been designed and implemented. User requirements have been identified for a number of application domains (audio visual catalogue, product catalogue, distance learning). The project specifies a global network architecture allowing any terminal to access any server independently of the particular access networks (broadcast or telecommunication). Contributions are made to the standardisation of services, which is very important for their success.
Technical Approach

The project identifies user requirements for a number of application domains (audio-visual catalogue, product catalogue, distance learning).

The project specifies a global network architecture allowing any terminal to access any server independently of the particular access networks (broadcast or telecommunication). Contributions are made to the standardisation of services, which is very important for their success.

A European service pilot is being implemented to demonstrate the service operation at the European level. Interworking between terminals on different network types and servers in different countries will be demonstrated.

Key Issues

- Identification of user requirements and service definition.
- Development of a terminal, a server and 3 applications.
- Implementation of a service trial, demonstrating European interworking

Expected Impact

The project will demonstrate the commercial viability of the service. It will provide expertise in the application production and operation to service providers. A better integration of service equipment will be achieved. The project will contribute to the standardisation of a multimedia retrieval service, which is the first condition for the commercial success of the service.
