FYI. An appropriate first post on this list.
Let the technical MPEG-7 discussions begin!
Best,

Free MPEG-7 library available from JOANNEUM RESEARCH
----------------------------------------------------
The MPEG-7 ISO standard to describe multimedia objects is an important
prerequisite to interoperability and openness of applications and content.
In the course of a series of projects, partially funded by the European
Commission and by national research programs, JOANNEUM RESEARCH has
developed a C++-implementation of the full MPEG-7 standard ISO/IEC
15938:2001.
To promote the uptake of MPEG-7, JOANNEUM RESEARCH offers its MPEG-7 library
for fee-free use. It is available for download under: 
http://iis.joanneum.at/MPEG-7
If you want to deal with MPEG-7 metadata, and if you do not want to struggle
with complex XML DOM programming, you will benefit from our solution. MPEG-7
metadata, which are stored in a hierarchical XML representation, are made
available in an object oriented hierarchical class tree. The JRS MPEG-7
library avoids the time consuming task of having to implement hundreds of
necessary MPEG-7 classes before implementation of MPEG-7 functionality can
start.
Application developers can create and manipulate multimedia content
descriptions with this library. It allows them to serialize metadata to XML
and to de-serialize them - with validation - from XML. Target operating
systems are Windows and UNIX systems. One major design goal was to provide
simple techniques for the extension of classes. This allows the developer to
enrich interface functionality for certain descriptors. Furthermore
documentation on concept and source code level improves the learning curve
for the programmer.
