KMi Seminars
1st Symposium on Interoperability Issues in Semantic Web Sites
This event took place on Monday 07 February 2005 at 09:00

 
Prof. Enrico Motta KMi, The Open University, UK

This workshop was the first in what is hoped to become a series of regular meetings aiming to make a significant push towards "the second generation Web" (as Semantic Web is also known). An initial goal is to achieve interoperability among so-far separate semantically enriched web sites and portals from the participating institutions, thus achieving a "network effect" for web-accessible knowledge repositories.

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.
