We invite you to join the workshop to give your views on the following, but not limited to, topics:

Vocabularies / languages / models for describing multimedia assets

• Multimedia ontologies
• Combining multiple vocabularies
• Interoperability between RDF and non-RDF metadata
• Interoperability among current standards: MPEG-7, VRA, IPTC, EXIF, AAT, etc.
• Flickr/del.icio.us folksonomies / Microformats
• Multimedia extensions of Semantic Web languages / Multimedia datatypes

Tools for describing / processing multimedia assets

• Image, audio and/or video annotation tools
• Automatic and semi automatic annotation tools: from features to semantics
• Improve features analysis by using semantic models
• Extracting metadata from context (GPS, diary, camera devices, etc.)
• Using media semantics in search, presentation and other processing

Applications / Experiences / Feedback

• Multimedia portals based on Semantic Web technology
• Practical experiences, lessons learned and best practices for annotation on the Semantic Web
• Added value of using RDF/OWL semantics in real life multimedia applications
• Specific communities: digital libraries, culture heritage, scientific imaging, etc.

The workshop is expected to:

• bring together the various communities involved
• provide an overview of the state of the art in the field
• provide a research agenda by listing open problems and promising directions
• determine and prioritize potential work that needs to be done within future standardization organizations
