Semantic Web Technologies in IST Key Action III (Multimedia Content and Tools)

This project aims to improve the functionality, usability, acceptability, and linguistic and cultural diversity of future information products and services. The focus is on semantic web technologies to enable better access to web-based content, retrieval, filtering, and handling, meeting users' quality expectations. It involves formalizing the semantics of digital content, deriving semantic attributes, and developing semantics-based tools for knowledge and resource discovery.

  3. Context 5th Framework Programme Thematicprogrammes Quality of life & sustainable resources Competitive & sustainable growth User friendly information society ( IST ) Preserving the ecosystem Key actions Systems & services for citizens New methods of work & e-commerce Multimedia content & tools Essential technologies & infrastructures Key areas Interactive publishing Digital content & cultural heritage Education & training Information access, filtering, analysis & handling Human language technologies Themes and topics (updated annually) Semantic Web Technologies 2001:

  4. Demonstration Technology Context:Multimedia Content and Tools

  5. Context: MC&T objectives Improve the • functionality • usability • acceptability • linguistic & cultural diversity of future information products & services.

  6. Context: Information access, filtering analysis and handling Research priorities: - mastering information - information management - information categorising Application areas: - all subject areas 2001 focus: Semantic Web technologies

  7. Semantic Web technologies The basic assumption: The World Wide Web is becoming a major vehicle for the distribution and delivery of multimedia content (including video and audio), accessible from stationary (including domestic) and mobile platforms.

  8. Semantic Web technologies Where do we want to go? Where do we start from? How do we get there?

  9. Semantic Web technologies Goals … enabling better access to Web-based content, its retrieval, filtering and handling, pertinent to users’ needs and interests, living up to their quality expectations ... … and having these operations done through intuitively appealing interaction with largely autonomous intelligent agents ...

  10. Semantic Web technologies Starting points resource description XML as lingua franca information retrieval multimedia databases knowledge engineering content analysis standards and recommendations agents (intelligent, autonomous, mobile, etc.) projects (Ontoknowledge, Acacia, C-Web, Ibrow, Kirmit, etc…)

  11. Semantic Web technologies A threefold way formalizing ‘grounding’ acting

  12. Semantic Web technologies A threefold way (formalizing) Methods and tools for coding and structuring digital content, for defining and declaring its semantics. These would typically employ XML,RDF and other techniques for semantic interoperability and reasoning such as ontologies for domain specific applications.

  13. Semantic Web technologies A threefold way (‘grounding’) Methods and tools for the derivation of semantic attributes of Web-based content (in particular video, audio and images)... through e.g. automatic feature detection, video segmentation and annotation, etc. multimedia indexing/metadata based on content analysis; automated categorization of Web resources.

  14. Semantic Web technologies A threefold way (acting) Semantics-based tools for knowledge/resource discovery, transactions, intelligent filtering and profiling ... … such as intelligent information agents and specific query languages; semantics-based tools for collaborative filtering and knowledge sharing in specific or general user communities; intelligent and/or visual interfaces to such tools, where appropriate, based on virtual reality paradigms.

  15. Semantic Web technologies Paralipomena* sustainability scalability platform specific constraints:TV, mobile (WAP, UMTS, CC/PP, …) ease of access content presentation etc... integrating geographic information *n. pl. things added as supplement to main text

  16. Semantic Web technologies • Working out the details • 22 - 23 November, Luxembourg: • Workshop ‘Semantic Web technologies’ • clarifying issues • putting forward project ideas • making contact • YOU ARE MOST WELCOME!
