In this context, the Part 7 of the MPEG-21 standard formally named Digital Item Adaptation (DIA) targets the adaptation of multimedia content based on usage environment, such as network characteristics, terminal capabilities and user characteristics. But, MPEG-21 DIA does not take into account MPEG-7 semantics description tools, which provide means for a conceptual (semantic) description that is close to the human understanding of multimedia content. Therefore, to fill this gap, we propose an interactive and user-centric framework called Semantic Adaptation Framework (SAF). The SAF provides facilities for the generation of all the required semantic metadata and enables an MPEG-21 adaptation engine to semantically adapt the multimedia content in order to provide the user with the best possible experience.}, issn = {283990067X}, language = {EN}, talktype = {none} }
