Flexible and scalable digital library search

Summary: An integrated digital-library/web search engine combining feature grammars for flexible multimedia-metadata extraction and querying with scalable full-text retrieval. Conceptual models enable richer queries and domain-specific extraction of high-level concepts from raw video. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
