Semantic content-modelling schemes strive to encapsulate a number of aspects of multimedia content: explicit media structure, objects, spatial relationships between objects, events and actions involving objects, temporal relationships between events and actions, and integration of syntactic and semantic information. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it demonstrates that all of these aspects are essential for semantic content-modelling of video and audio, and then it contributes a semantic content-modelling scheme that utilizes them all.
