Multimedia Metadata Interoperability

• Use SW technologies to make existing multimedia metadata standards interoperable:
  • Leverage and combine existing formats and show the added value of the SW formal semantics,
  • Provide best practices for annotating and using multimedia content on the Web
• Photo Use Case:

Multimedia Metadata Interoperability (cont)

• Music Use Case:
  • ID3 Tags + low-level features extraction + lastFM recommendations + FOAF profiles + ...
  • Auto-construction of playlist (similar bit rate), Personalization, Browsing music store
  
• Personomy Manager Use Case:
  • Multiple tagging platforms for various media:
    Flickr, YouTube, DailyMotion, Myspace, Last.fm, Del.icio.us, etc.
  • Extraction of personals tags, SKOS representation
  • Search, annotate cross-platforms
