Hypermedia for Portable Video Players (PVP)

In this paper we propose the exploitation of high mobility portable battery operated video players (PVP) for the retrieval of video associated with the location in which it may be used. Reporting on an earlier interactive multimedia location-based prototype, we assess the possibilities for specific ontologies of a taxonomy of indexing procedure which avoids text-based retrieval methods, using instead the mnemonics of image association. We outline the proposed development of PVP firmware and a related user application enabling users to construct indexing procedures appropriate to their needs, using a metadesign approach
