MPEG-7
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! MPEG-7 is a multimedia content description standard. It was standardized in ISO/IEC 15938 (Multimedia content description interface). This description will be associated with the content itself, to allow fast and efficient searching for material that is of interest to the user. MPEG-7 is formally called Multimedia Content Description Interface. Thus, it is not a standard which deals with the actual encoding of moving pictures and audio, like MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. It uses XML to store metadata, and can be attached to timecode in order to tag particular events, or synchronise lyrics to a song, for example.

Trinidad and Tobago national football team cup results
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This is a summary of every competitive cup entered by the Trinidad and Tobago national football team from its inception in 1934 to the present.
