|
|
|
<h2>OBJECTIVES</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Investigate potential approaches for image annotation strategies that
|
|
combine and/or integrate the SemWeb languages approach (RDF, OWL, SPARQL,
|
|
Rule Languages, …) with the DDL/XMLSchema-based approach of
|
|
MPEG-7, Dublin Core etc in an interoperable way.</li>
|
|
<li>Develop best practice guidelines for image annotators that want to
|
|
export their annotations on the Semantic Web and/or import SemWeb data
|
|
into their image annotation tools.</li>
|
|
<li>Collect currently used vocabularies for multimedia annotations (like
|
|
Dublin Core, VRA, …)</li>
|
|
<li>Provide use cases with examples of multimedia annotations using the
|
|
above vocabularies</li>
|
|
<li>Investigate existing tools and other formats (ID3, EXIF, XMP, etc)</li>
|
|
<li>Align with other Task Forces of the BPWG and W3C activities (Voice
|
|
browser activities, synchronised multimedia etc)</li>
|
|
<li>Provide readily applicable mapping tools (using XSLT, SPARQL,
|
|
transformation rules, mappings etc)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>APPROACH</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Compare issues discussed and approaches suggested in literature,
|
|
including those in the bibliography. Collect existing approaches for
|
|
MPEG-7 (and other multimedia standards) and Semantic Web
|
|
interoperability.</li>
|
|
<li>Investigate current and upcoming European projects (aceMedia, Muscle,
|
|
K-Space, …), US and Australian projects, ontology libraries, demos
|
|
etc, for vocabularies of multimedia annotations, use cases, existing
|
|
tools etc.</li>
|
|
<li>Define the appropriate use cases, including (but not limited to) the
|
|
areas of e-culture, medicine, personal and professional audiovisual
|
|
archiving and management.</li>
|
|
<li>Using the above framework and focusing on the interoperability issues,
|
|
try to define best practices and guidelines for multimedia annotators
|
|
exporting their result in the SW.</li>
|
|
<li>Using the above guidelines, try to develop transformation tools from
|
|
multimedia annotations to SemWeb languages.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>SCOPE</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>In scope: make the SemWeb, ISO and other multimedia technologies
|
|
interoperable.</li>
|
|
<li>Out of scope: development of new standards.</li>
|
|
</ul>

|
|
This is the main document that provides use cases and
|
|
general discussion about Semantic Web vocabularies and
|
|
tools. This should become a stable document suitable to be
|
|
published as a public Working Draft.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Related to the main document are two Working Group pages,
|
|
<a href="http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/mmsem/wiki/Vocabularies">vocabularies</a> and
|
|
<a href="http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/mmsem/wiki/Tools_and_Resources">tools and ressources</a>,
|
|
that are intended as evolving documents that will be
|
|
regulary updated to catch up with new developments. CWI is
|
|
willing to commit resources to make sure these documents
|
|
will be maintained for the next 4 years.

<li><a href="interop.html">Semantic Web Image Annotation Interoperability</a>.
|
|
Feasibility report on the interoperability between SW and
|
|
image annotation standards (including patent and copyright
|
|
issues) and best practices for SW interoperable image
|
|
annotations including possible mapping tools. (Not ready for
|
|
review yet).

|
</li>

</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h2>TARGET AUDIENCE & USE CASES</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Professionals (museums, libraries, audiovisual archives, media
|
|
production and broadcast industry, image and video banks) and
|
|
non-professional (end-users) multimedia annotators.</li>
|
|
<li>Institutions and organizations with research and standardization
|
|
activities in the area of multimedia.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>DEPENDENCIES</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Other TFs: The approaches/guidelines of this TF need to be aligned with
|
|
the WordNet, Applications and Demos TFs.</li>
|
|
<li>Other W3C groups: activities on accessibility, voice browser
|
|
activities, synchronised multimedia group.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>IMPORTANT NOTE</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the charter of the SWBPD WG is renewed through into 2006, then the TF
|
|
hopes to continue with an updated description that mainly extends the above
|
|
work into video formats.</p>
