Integrating XLink and XPath to Retrieve Structured Multimedia Documents in Digital Libraries

To support the retrieval of multimedia data according to user information needs, multimedia information retrieval in digital libraries must be based on semantics and not just primitive features of multimedia objects. In this paper, we investigate the intersection of the hierarchical and linking structural information with the content information to support the retrieval of multimedia data in digital libraries based on XML format. For this purpose, we integrate XLink and XPath information to exploit the intersection of hierarchical and linking information within XML-based multimedia documents.
