One of the main challenges a multimedia server must face is serving to its users in a fast and efficient way. In that sense, it is highly important to develop an appropriate work load management. New advances regarding semantic web technologies are fostering the design of a new ontology. This ontology will allow the description of new state registers, as well as new functionalities applied to searching for certain resources through several sources. In that way, different servers placed in different locations can cooperate in order to provide a higher quality service. In this essay a load distribution protocol proposal through semantic web technologies applied to multimedia servers will be shown. In addition, an user-friendly and transparent resource search schema will be depicted.
