The MPEG-7 is the dominant standard for multimedia content description; thus, the audiovisual Digital Library contents should be described in terms of MPEG-7. Since there exists a huge amount of audiovisual content in the cultural heritage domain, it is expected that several cultural heritage objects, as well as entities related with them (i.e. people, places, events etc.), have been described using MPEG-7. On the other hand, the dominant standard in the cultural heritage domain is the CIDOC/CRM; consequently, the MPEG-7 descriptions cannot be directly integrated in the cultural heritage digital libraries.
We present in this paper a mapping model and a system that allow the transformation of the MPEG-7 descriptions to CIDOC/CRM descriptions, thus allowing the exploitation of multimedia content annotations in the cultural heritage digital libraries. In addition, the proposed mapping model allows linking MPEG-7 descriptions to CIDOC/CRM descriptions in a Linked Data scenario.
