Introduction
MPEG-7 is intended to provide complementary functionality to the previous MPEG standards, representing information about the content, not the content itself ("the bits about the bits"). This functionality is the standardization of multimedia content descriptions. MPEG-7 can be used independently of the other MPEG standards - the description might even be attached to an analog movie. The representation that is defined within MPEG-4, i.e. the representation of audio-visual data in terms of objects, is however very well suited to what will be built on the MPEG-7 standard. This representation is basic to the process of categorization. In addition, MPEG-7 descriptions could be used to improve the functionality of previous MPEG standards. With these tools, we can build an MPEG-7 Description and deploy it. According to the requirements document,1 a Description consists of a Description Scheme (structure) and the set of Descriptor Values (instantiations) that describe the Data. A Descriptor Value is an instantiation of a Descriptor for a given data set (or subset thereof). Neither automatic nor semiautomatic feature extraction algorithms are inside the scope of the standard because their standardization isnt required to allow interoperability.

Application Of MPEG-7
There are many applications and application domains which will benefit from the MPEG-7. A few application examples are: Digital library: Image/video catalogue, musical dictionary. Multimedia directory services: e.g. yellow pages. Broadcast media selection: Radio channel, TV channel. Multimedia editing: Personalized electronic news service, media authoring. Security services: Traffic control, production chains... E-business: Searching process of products. Cultural services: Art-galleries, museums... Educational applications. Biomedical applications.
