This slideshow was used to present a demo paper during ESWC 2009 in Heraklion (Crete). The paper gives an overview of the semantic aspects of an advanced, semantics-based broadcasting production support system designed to enable the creation of interactive multi-channel television shows. The “Intelligent Media Framework” forms the middleware of this system and was developed in the context of the European integrated project LIVE. The envisaged “intelligence” is based on formal, machine understandable descriptions of the content and the events. We demonstrate the successful usage of the system by a broadcasting corporation in a field trial with several hundred end consumers, conducted during the Olympic Games in Beijing, August 2008.

Ingredients of the Demo
• Starting point: Imagine a mass media event with
– 23.000 athletes
– 14.000 officials
– 6.500 events
– 1.100 teams
– 12 parallel video live feeds
– 200 archival clips
• The vision: The production of a– real-time
– non-linear
– interactive
– multi-channel (5 channels)
video show in broadcasting quality
• Implementation– Development of a real-time production
support system
– “Intelligent Media Framework” based on semantic concepts deals with
• aggregation
• storage
• propagation
• filtering
• visualisation
of contextual information
– Annotation, detection and extraction of “knowledge”
– Recommendation and personalisation
• Performance indicators (field trial)– 3 x 2 x 5 x 5h = 150h of material
– 110.000 action messages sent
– 18.000 terms in 65 vocabularies
– 100.000 activities detected and stored
– 18.000 knowledge items created

Scientific and Technological Challenges
• Development of an intelligent content model
– Understanding of the LIVE domain (broadcasting, events, staging,
sports, …)
– Research on knowledge and
information requirements of the
LIVE staging process.
– Foundational grounding for
interactions between content
and knowledge
• Development of an intelligent media framework
– Understand standards of the domains (MPEG-7, NewsML, IPTC, …)
– Information integration for internal and external information sources
– Storage of and access to intelligent content objects
– Support the real-time character of the LIVE staging environment
