This talk will introduce the approach of "partial semantic interoperability" to help widgets communicate and understand each other. An important requirement of the approach is how it scales to the current situation with hundreds of thousands of available widgets. Another important requirement is to not put a cap on innovation by limiting what can be communicated. A demo will illustrate how the widget communication can be used in a learning scenario.

Join the MUPPLE group on TELeurope to get updates about the lecture

Multimedia and Information Systems
Our research is centred around the theme of Multimedia Information Retrieval, ie, Video Search Engines, Image Databases, Spoken Document Retrieval, Music Retrieval, Query Languages and Query Mediation.

We focus on content-based information retrieval over a wide range of data spanning form unstructured text and unlabelled images over spoken documents and music to videos. This encompasses the modelling of human perception of relevance and similarity, the learning from user actions and the up-to-date presentation of information. Currently we are building a research version of an integrated multimedia information retrieval system MIR to be used as a research prototype. We aim for a system that understands the user's information need and successfully links it to the appropriate information sources, be it a report or a TV news clip. This work is guided by the vision that an automated knowledge extraction system ultimately empowers people making efficient use of information sources without the burden of filing data into specialised databases.
