Metadata-based access to complex digital objects in multimedia archival collections

Abstract
A comprehensive approach to the access of digital objects necessitates the interplay of various types of metadata standards. Each of these standards fulfills its own part within the context of a 'metadata infrastructure'. In recent years, due to the growth in computational power and the increasing networking bandwidth and connectivity, electronic archival records have evolved from simple text-based files to complex digital objects that may contain embedded images (still and moving), drawings, sounds, hyperlinks, or complex multimedia data. The aim of this research is to investigate and implement a number of tools supporting time-dependent media within an archival context. Therefore, we have presented a metadata framework consisting of both the Encoded Archival Description (EAD) standard - supporting collection level descriptions - and the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) - supporting the digital item descriptions -. Then, an extension of this metadata framework has been proposed to time-based media content delivered via the MPEG-7 multimedia content description standard.
