Definition

Multimedia data indicates large amounts of multi-/rich media data, such as text, graphics, images, music, video, and their combination. The basic elements of multimedia data are text, images, audio, animation, and video. Multimedia tagging is referred to as the process by which a computer system automatically assigns metadata in the form of captions or keywords to multimedia data for describing their content on semantic or syntactic levels. With such metadata, the management, summarization, and retrieval of multimedia content can be easily accomplished. The tags (i.e., metadata or captions or keywords) can be directly used to index multimedia data. According to the semantic and syntactic content, multimedia data can be assigned one tag or multiple tags. For example, the video on gold fish in...
