Challenges to SME’s Asset handling is problematic Annotation is difficult & time consuming Assets are notadequatelypresented No support forinteractionwith content
ProposedSolutions Automatic and semi-automatic annotationtechnology Include context & workflow information in asset management New andnovel interfaces (Flexible, 3D, QbE etc.) Open andflexiblearchitecture (SOA)
Project Outcomes “IM3I is an intelligent and adaptable repository software” Intelligent = ability to derive semantic descriptions from media assets Adaptable = authoring capabilities of the platform that enables users to define and publish repositories of media artefacts
Project Outcomes Platform capable of importing, ingesting, analysing, harmonizingandformatting multimedia-materials Specialist tools targeted at annotating, searchingandretrieving media materials Authoring platform capable of publishing workflow and media-interaction to end-users
Outcomes: Platform (WP3) SOA-based Architecture capable of importing, ingesting, analysing, harmonizingandformatting multimedia-materials
Outcomes: Specialist Tools (WP4 & 5) Make automatic annotation usable for practical use Make video handling easy and transparent Allow specialist tools for annotation and specialized searching
Outcomes: Authoring Platform: WP5 Allow easy reproduction of existing collections (import) Allow easy extension of repository functionalities (modeling) Allow interaction with repositories according to workflow
Approach taken Iterativeand user centric (WP2) Involve SME partners in developmentandevaluation (WP6) Prove applicability of architecture, platform and tools forSME’s (WP7) Develop business models on inter- and intra organisationaluse (WP8)
