RE: Query on using RDF and OWL for video search improvement

Sancho,
 
As already pointed out, quite some research has already been done. I guess, for a start you may want to sneak into some of the following resources and let us know in greater  detail what you're actually after:

 + Hollink et. al. Building a Visual Ontology for Video Retrieval [1]
 + Easy Semantic Markup of Video Recordings on the Web [2]
 + Raphaël Troncy. Formalization of Documentary Knowledge and Conceptual Knowledge With Ontologies: Applying to The Description of Audio-visual Documents. PhD Thesis [3]
 + Michael Hausenblas. Building Scaleable and Smart Multimedia Applications on the Semantic Web. PhD Thesis [4]

Note that this is a very subjective, unfocused selection - just to give you an idea about how broad this topic is ...

Cheers,
	Michael

	Subject: Query on using RDF and OWL for video search improvement
	
	
	Hi All,
	
	Could someone guide me on how to use an OWL like RDF representation for improving a content based video search engine I am working on for my thesis. The basic idea being to be able to convert a video content into a RDF file and reducing the video search to text based search. Is any work on similar areas going on?.
	
	Thanks & Regards
	Sancho
