Abstract: As a unit element for defining a describing procedure for description of a feature data characteristic of the content of a video data, a descriptor is formed in a description format structured to have its attribute as lower-level element and which may include other descriptor as attribute. That is, the description format for the descriptor consists of a feature indicative of a descriptor or attribute as lower level element, and a feature type indicative of the data type of the feature.
