Cross-media semantic indexing in the soccer domain

In this paper we describe collaborative and integrative work in the K-Space Network of Excellence. A goal of the work presented consists of combining results of the analysis of soccer videos with the semantic analysis of textual complementary sources, in order to support the semantic annotation and indexing of soccer videos. We present briefly a former approach to text-based semantic annotation and indexing of soccer videos as done in the MUMIS project and show in comparison the advances achieved within the K-Space project. A SMIL-based demonstrator has been implemented, documenting the approach and the resources used in our work. We present then briefly the set up of this demonstrator.
