Extended Specification of the Intelligent Media Framework (D7.5)

Main information
This report presents the extended specification of the Intelligent Media Framework (IMF), one of the core subsystems acting as the middleware for the LIVE production support system. The framework provides the following services to other LIVE subsystems, such as the Metadata Generation System and the Recommender System: Services to create, annotate and manage the intelligent media assets that make up the show under real-time conditions. These services operate on a metadata level and do not actually store any raw video streams (they rather reference these so called “essences”); Services to access the vocabularies and the terms of the controlled vocabulary constituting the knowledge base of the live staging domain; Services to manage and deliver information about the staged events, e.g. the schedule of the contests and races, the participating athletes, the results, etc; A messaging system to support the real-time aspects of the staging process by offering subscription methods to other subsystems. The Intelligent Media Framework is based on a combination of a classical three-tier architecture with the principles of service oriented architectures (SOA). Moreover, the framework relies on a knowledge model for the LIVE staging domain that on a semantic level integrates information about the event, the content, the users involved in the production process and the concepts of presenting the event (“staging”). The objective of this report is to provide an up to date specification of the knowledge model, the services and the components of the Intelligent Media Framework. A basic specification of the IMF has been presented in [LIVE D7.2]. This documents focuses on those parts of the specification which were updated or extended in comparison to the basic specification. In all other cases D7.2 is just referred. The extended specification presented in this document will form the basis for the implementation of the 2nd prototype of the IMF [LIVE D7.6] which will be used for staging the Olympic Games 2008 in Peking.
