Semantic TV — is the semantic web a part of broadcasting’s future?
The internet is part of broadcasting’s future and might soon be the ultimate
opportunity to reach viewers directly. ‘Semantic web’ and ‘ontologies’ are not new
concepts but they start making sense as a step beyond metadata for providing more
efficient search, retrieval and access to ‘semantic TV’.
This article is an overview of lessons learnt from developing an ontology for audiovisual
programmes and services. The implementation of semantic-web technologies
will require a new vision from content providers, including broadcasters. New
collaborations will need to be established and, clearly, ambitions should go beyond
the use of the narrow-scoped DVB Service Information (DVB-SI).
