What are the general applications for MPEG-7?
It is often said that MPEG-7 will make the web more searchable for multimedia content than it is for text today. This would also apply to making large content archives accessible to the public (or to enable people to identify content to buy). The same information used for content retrieval may also be used by agents, for selection and filtering of broadcast or “push” material. Additionally, the meta-data may be used for more advanced access to the underlying data, by enabling automatic or semi-automatic multimedia presentation or editing.
