Content-Based Hypermedia-intelligent browsing of structured media objects

Interacting with a multimedia information system is different from interacting with a standard text-based information system. In this paper, we present the design of a system called Content-Based Hypermedia (CBH), which allows a user to utilize metadata to intelligently browse through a collection of media objects. We describe the approach we use to model data in order to make it browsable, explore browsing (data and metadata), indicate how metadata is used in the concept of similarity, present the architecture of our system, and discuss indexing techniques for similarity browsing using content-based metadata
