  Dance video is one of the important types of narrative videos with semantic
rich content. This paper proposes a new meta model, Dance Video Content Model
(DVCM) to represent the expressive semantics of the dance videos at multiple
granularity levels. The DVCM is designed based on the concepts such as video,
shot, segment, event and object, which are the components of MPEG-7 MDS. This
paper introduces a new relationship type called Temporal Semantic Relationship
to infer the semantic relationships between the dance video objects. Inverted
file based index is created to reduce the search time of the dance queries. The
effectiveness of containment queries using precision and recall is depicted.
Keywords: Dance Video Annotations, Effectiveness Metrics, Metamodeling,
Temporal Semantic Relationships.
