Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine how to combine broadcasting video clips with other contents offered by a third party. This paper focused on the field of education, particularly the study of 'animals', and verified methods of collaboration between videos and other contents such as Wikipedia. When it comes to considering collaboration, it is well-known that metadata are absolutely necessary, and this paper constructed a resource description framework (RDF) store to describe video clips from various viewpoints which cover themes to explain animals, motions about animals, translation from Japanese animal's name to other languages and so on. In order to construct RDF stores and integrate videos with other web services effectively, some natural language processing and dictionary were used and the ontology was generated. By using RDF store, we developed demonstration applications that combine videos with other services.
