Using a Multimedia Ontology Infrastructure for Semantic Annotation of Multimedia Content
Proc. of 5th International Workshop on Knowledge Markup and Semantic Annotation (SemAnnot '05), Galway, Ireland, November 2005
ABSTRACT
In this paper we discuss the use of knowledge for the automatic extraction of semantic metadata from multimedia content. For the representation of knowledge we extended and enriched current general-purpose ontologies to include low-level visual features. More specifically, we implemented a tool that links MPEG-7 visual descriptors to high-level, domain-specific concepts. For the exploitation of this knowledge infrastructure we developed an experimentation platform, that allows us to analyze multimedia content and automatically create the associated semantic metadata, as well as to test, validate and refine the ontologies built. We pursued a tight and functional integration of the knowledge base and the analysis modules putting them in a loop of constant interaction instead of being the one just a pre- or post-processing step of the other.
