6 -- information retrieval

Based on the Amsterdam Drugport scenario we can identify the need for information retrieval capabilities for images, text documents, audio and video. Before we delve intoany of the media types, we discuss an information system architecture that allows for a uniform approach to a variety of media types. After discussing information retrieval and content annotation for the various media types, we elaborate on the uniform approach by defining the notion of media abstraction.
