Personalized Audiovisual Content Delivery at the Palm of your Hand

Delivery of personalized multimedia content is an important challenge for versatile video podcast environments. In this paper, we focus on the opportunities given by MPEG-7 metadata standard for content delivery in terms of user preferences when podcasting technology is used. By means of MPEG-7, multimedia content can be described at several levels of granularity and abstraction. We propose the use of this description in order to produce and publish personalized information according to user´s demand on podcasts environments and to compute at a dynamic way the different feeds of the podcast information system when it is demanded by users. We describe this approach for the motivating scenario of audiovisual content for legislative assemblies.
