Abstract
Domain ontologies are very useful for indexing, query specification, retrieval and filtering, user interfaces, even information extraction from audiovisual material. The dominant emerging language standard for the description of domain ontologies is OWL. We describe here a methodology and software that we have developed for the interoperability of OWL with the complete MPEG-7 MDS so that domain ontologies described in OWL can be transparently integrated with the MPEG-7 MDS metadata. This allows applications that recognize and use the MPEG-7 MDS constructs to make use of domain ontologies for applications like indexing, retrieval, filtering etc. resulting in more effective user retrieval and interaction with audiovisual material.
