Abstract:
The term multimedia is polysemous, and the field of multimedia encompasses several other disciplines; therefore, active participants in the field are striving to give it more definition and more clarity. Taxonomies offer both clarity and definition through their classification of information. Although much work has been achieved towards defining media itself, uniformity is still needed in the area of classifying how the media elements are used. To that end, a Taxonomy of Media Usage in Multimedia (T-MUM) is being developed to further define the field of multimedia by identifying how media elements are used in multimedia.
This presentation discusses the foundational research for the T-MUM theory as well as the plans for validating it. In addition, there will be a demonstration of the practical implementation of the T-MUM and ideas for future work.
