multimedia have not been studied, but recent work is helping to establish a theo- retical basis on which standards can be built (Maybury, 1997; Nicholson, D., 2003;
Turner, G. M., Hudon, M., & Devin, Y., 2002). A significant contribution in this area is the Moving Image Collections project sponsored by the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA) and the Library of Congress. Of particular interest is the progress in designing a flexible but standardized metadata architecture for multiple information streams and the development of lists of controlled terms (MIC, 2003).
Investigations that explore key problems for access to multimedia using speech and shape recognition, computer vision, closed-caption text, and other sophisticated approaches contribute to our understanding of political advertising and news ma- terials (Crestani, F., 2003; Hayes, Knecht, & Cellio, 1997; McKeown & Radev, 1995;
Rau, 1997; Zhang, Low, Smoliar, & Wu, 1997).
The international expansion of political communication is the result of the ef- forts of those scholars actively acquiring and using materials from other countries in research and study. Such expansions require developing multilingual thesauri in which terms of the subject domain are listed in parallel sequences showing con- ceptual equivalences in more than one language. Both the ISO (1986) and the BSI (1987) have guidelines for multilingual thesauri available. Soergel (1996) proposed an integrated knowledge access system with multilingual terminology to serve a global information society. Such expansions require developing multilingual equiv- alents for subjects, production techniques, and genre terms along the lines of the highly used terms from FIAF (1992). Crouch (1990) offered an early approach to machine-assisted development of vocabulary from across different disciplines. The improvements in information retrieval technology make this a realistic choice, and his ideas merit further consideration.
