| We present an implementation of the MPEG-7 standard
for a multimedia content description of lyric opera
in the context of the European IST project: OpenDrama.
The project goals are the definition, development,
and integration of a novel platform to author and deliver
the rich cross-media digital objects of lyric opera.
MPEG-7 has been used in OpenDrama as the base
technology for a music information retrieval system. In
addition to the MPEG-7 multimedia description
scheme, different classification schemes have been
proposed to deal with operatic concepts such as musical
forms (acts, scenes, frames, introduction, etc.), musical
indications (piano, forte, ritardando, etc.), and
genre and creator roles (singers, musicians, production
staff, etc.). Moreover, this project has covered the development
of an authoring tool for an MPEG-7 standard,
namely MDTools, which includes segmentation,
classification scheme generation, creation and production,
and media information descriptors. |
