Agenda
Motivating Scenario
Requirements
Multimedia Ontology Framework
Conclusion and Future Work
Motivating Scenario
Fragment Identification
Localize and uniquely identify regions
Semantic Annotation
MPEG-7 has various way to say the same
thing and has no formal semantics
Web Interoperability
Re-use relevant vocabularies and metadata
available on the web
Requirements for a Multimedia Ontology
Requirements:
MPEG-7 compliance
Semantic and Syntactic interoperability
Separation of concerns
Modularity and Extensibility
Design Decision
Conceptual Clarity
Rich Axiomatization
Precise Design
Broad Scope
Start from all the MPEG-7
accumulated knowledge
Re-engineering ...
but not one-to-one translation!
