Abstract
Distributed multimedia retrieval (DMR) is a key issue in today’s information systems. One problem in DMR is the fusion of results retrieved from multiple locations, which is required in order to present the results in an integrated, consolidated and aligned form. This paper sketches a distributed multimedia retrieval scenario in which requirements, a conceptualization and an implementation of a knowledge-based data fusion approach is proposed. The approach is to be used together with the MPEG Query Format and is supported by benchmarks and classifications to derive knowledge used in result fusion.
