Digital preservation: the multimedia standards way

The retrieval of multimedia data is an important aspect in the life cycle of these data in respect to digital preservation. In this regard, standards are a guarantee for a long-term and interoperable access to multimedia repositories. In this context, the article first surveys standard based technologies in the multimedia life cycle related to the MPEG-7 description format. Based on this, the focus is toward to interoperable retrieval approaches and their environment requirements in order to support digital preservation of multimedia data. Especially, the novel MPEG Query Format (part 12 of MPEG-7) and its application for the retrieval in distributed and heterogeneous environments are highlighted.
