 In the following chapters we will discuss how we can make the various media formats, including text, images, audio and video amenable to search, either by analyzing content or by providing explicit meta information. For video, in particular, we develop a simple annotation logic that captures both the story line and the actors, that is persons and objects, that figure in it.

Essential sections are section 5.1, that characterizes scenarios for information retrieval, section 5.3, that introduces standard information retrieval concepts stemming from text search, section 6.4, that defines the aforementioned annotation logic, and section 7.2, that gives an outline of an abstract multimedia data format.

Section 6.3 is rather technical and may safely be skipped. Also sections 5.2, 6.1 and 7.3 may be skipped on first reading.
