Streaming video has recently surpassed peer-to-peer networks in terms of network capacity hunger. Reports estimate a share of 40 % of peak network capacity dedicated to entertainment, mostly streaming video. A large share of this traffic originates from web-based services. YouTube alone takes up to 8% of the prime time Internet traffic. While transmission currently works in a best effort system, multimedia information systems on the web are far from being perfect. Retrieval, annotation, validated and useful metadata, reliable and trusted services, and user interaction and context-based adaptation are still under discussion and issues to research.
