Context: Information access, filtering analysis and handling (IAF) 5th Framework Programme>Information Society Technologies >Key Action 3 (Multimedia Content & Tools)> Area: IAF Research priorities: - mastering information - information management - information categorising Mission (in a nutshell): “making sense of data” Hence:WP 2001 Action Line is“Semantic Web Technologies” Application areas: - all subject areas
Semantic Web Technologies The basic assumption: The World Wide Web is becoming a major vehicle for the distribution and delivery of multimedia content, accessible from stationary and (increasingly) mobile platforms.
Semantic Web Technologies Where do we want to go? Where do we start from? How do we get there?
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 ...
Semantic Web Technologies Starting points THE VISION (T.B-L) 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…)
Semantic Web Technologies A fourfold way formalizing using XML, RDF(S), techniques for semantic interoperability and reasoning such as ontology languages etc.(?) ‘grounding’ formalisms through content analysis to support knowledge / resource discovery, transactions, intelligent filtering and profiling, collaborative filtering, knowledge sharing acting interacting e.g. through intuitive visual interfaces
Semantic Web Technologies Parerga* and Paralipomena** sustainability scalability platform specific constraints:TV, mobile (WAP, UMTS, CC/PP, …) ease of access content presentation integrating geographic information etc... *n. pl. subordinate work; accessories**n. pl. things added as supplement to main text
Semantic Web technologies • Workshop ‘Semantic Web technologies’ • making contact • clarifying issues • putting forward project ideas • … and getting ideas • giving input to future IST ‘programming’ A reminder: short contributions must be short (5-15 min)
