Abstract:

A database building method for multimedia contents is provided. The database building method for multimedia contents has the steps of (a) accessing an arbitrary site providing multimedia contents through a telecommunications network; (b) calling multimedia contents in by spidering the site; and (c) classifying the multimedia contents data according to the stored addresses and storing them in a predetermined database. Using category information on the corresponding sites, the database building method for multimedia contents according to the present invention semantically classifies multimedia contents and stores them in the corresponding databases. In the database built by the database building method for multimedia contents according to the present invention, multimedia contents which are dispersed on the WWW are well collected and, using category information or URL information, are semantically well classified. Therefore, various method for retrieving multimedia contents can be used so that wanted multimedia contents can be retrieved fast and efficiently.
