KMi Seminars
Towards Changing the Relationship between Business and IT via Semantic Web Services
This event took place on Wednesday 31 January 2007 at 11:30

 
Prof John Domingue KMi, The Open University

A number of new technologies are emerging which over the next 5-10 years will radically change the relationship between a business and its IT infrastructure. In this talk I will give an overview of the EU funded SUPER Integrated Project which aims to enable business experts to query and manage business processes which reside in IT systems without recourse to IT staff. To achieve this SUPER will combine semantic Web, Web service and business process modeling technologies. The SUPER project involves a consortium of 19 partners including SAP and a number of telecommunications companies and has now been running for 9 months.

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.
