Image Annotation on the Semantic Web: Overview of Relevant Resources
Status: this document is no longer actively maintained. Please update your links to
point to
the new version maintained by the W3C Multimedia Semantics Incubator Group.
This document is based on unfinished work performed in the context
of the multimedia task force of the W3C Semantic Web Best
Practices and Deployment Working Group. All information
provided here serves purely as a list of examples, and inclusion
on this page does not imply endorsement by the W3C membership or
the Working Group.
This collection of resources was developed in the context of
Image annotation on the Semantic Web.

- Check newer documents for additions and improvements
- Add more example entries
- Provide short descriptions for each entry
- Provide links to actual examples

Introduction & background reading (see Easy
Image Annotation for the Semantic Web, ILRT Tech report)
-
FOAF
co-depiction "Co-depiction is simply the state of
being depicted in the same picture as someone else. We're
cataloguing this using FOAF RDF documents, sharing and
collecting these in the Web, as a way of documenting in a
visual way some connections between people."
-
w3photo "envisions a
royalty-free archive of conference pictures from WWW1 to
Today -- searchable by the Semantic Web and ready for your
tools". It uses various vocabulary, including Dublin Core,
FOAF, CYC, Creative Commons, FotoNotes etc.
-
CONFOTO "is an
experimental sharing and annotation service for conference
photos. It utilizes common RDF vocabularies (dc, foaf,
rev, cc, ical, w3photo) to combine simple tagging with
rich annotations (e.g. depicted persons, related events,
ratings). RDF data is accessible via SPARQL, URIQA, or a
link at the bottom of each page."
-
FotoNotes "The goal of
the Fotonotes specification is to make it significantly
easier for individuals and groups to share meaningful
information about (a) what is visually depicted within the
photograph and (b) what is contextually (and/or
personally) significant about what is (or is not) visually
represented."

Other image annotation projects
-
Combining RDF and MPEG7
-
Introduction and background reading (IEEE Multimedia
papers, Part I and Part II)
-
Jane Hunter et al on annotation of fusion cell images (see
SWWS 2001 paper, ISWC04 paper, etc)
-
Troncy et al on combining XML and RDF for audio visual archiving
within INA (see
ISWC2003 paper)
(note: AV-annotation is also relevant for images)
-
Chrisa Tsinaraki et al on MPEG-7 and OWL (Coupling OWL
with MPEG-7 and TV-Anytime for Domain-specific Multimedia
Information Integration and Retrieval, see
RIAO 2004 paper)
-
Using RDF for describing visual resources in the art domain
-
Embedding RDF image annotations in other formats

-
EXIF "stands for
Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for storing
interchange information in image files, especially those using
JPEG compression. Most digital cameras now use the EXIF
format. The format is part of the DCF standard created by
JEITA to encourage interoperability between imaging devices."

Getty images collection, annotations and vocabularies
-
IconClass iconographic
classification system, thesaurus for describing icons and
other visual art
-
Mark Davis's work on
Media Streams
- MPEG-7 Related:
- IBM's MPEG-7 work for TRECvid
- Caliph & Emir
are MPEG-7 based Java prototypes for digital photo and image annotation and retrieval supporting graph like annotation for semantic metadata and content based image retrieval using MPEG-7 descriptors.
