has to be an efficient way to represent the multimedia data automatically for it.
Multimedia data impose a great challenge to document indexing and retrieval as it
is highly unstructured and the semantics are implicit in the content of it. Moreover,

information is crucial because it describes the content of multimedia data and would
help represent it in a semantically meaningful way. Manual annotation is feasible on
a small set of multimedia documents but is not scalable as the number of multimedia
documents increases. Hence, performing manual annotation of all Web multimedia
data while ???moving??? them to the Semantic Web domain is an impossible task.
