Users Requirements in Audiovisual Search: A Quantitative Approach

Abstract

This paper reports on the results of a quantitative analysis of user requirements for audiovisual search that allow the categorisation of requirements and to compare requirements across user groups. The categorisation provides clear directions with respect to the prioritisation of system features from the perspective of the development of systems for specific, single user groups and systems that have a more general target user group.

AXES-RESEARCH — A user-oriented tool for enhanced multimodal search and retrieval in audiovisual libraries

“…Using the same underlying system, and adding functionalities and offering a more user-oriented user interface, AXES RESEARCH was created and was tested by the research group at the end of 2013. This second prototype provides access through a user-friendly interface (see figure 1 above) specifically designed for the research community based on different prioritizations of user requirements [2]. The user interface offers the user different modes with varying levels of search, display detail, and user interaction.…”
