Abstract :
As the amount of streaming audio and video available to World Wide Web users grows, tools for analyzing and indexing this content will become increasingly important. Frequently, knowledge management applications and information portals synthesize unstructured text information from the Web, intranets and partner sites. Given this context, we crawl a statistically significant number of Web pages, detect those that contain streaming media links, crawl the media links to extract associated meta-data, then use the crawl data to build a resource list for Web media. We have used these crawl-data findings to build a media indexing application that uses content-based indexing methods
