project

BOEMIE 2006 focuses on the automation of the process of knowledge acquisition from multimedia content, using evolving multimedia ontologies which will be used for the extraction of information from multimedia content in networked sources. The goal is to develop synergistic approaches that combine multimedia extraction and ontology evolution in a bootstrapping process involving, on the one hand, the continuous extraction of semantic information from multimedia content in order to populate and enrich the ontologies and, on the other hand, the deployment of these ontologies to enhance the robustness of the extraction process. The workshop is tightly coupled with the BOEMIE project, aiming to initiate a new research activity on the automation of knowledge acquisition from multimedia content, through ontology evolution. The resulting technology will have a wide range of applications in commerce, tourism, e-science, etc. During the project, the technology will be evaluated through the development of an automatic content collection and annotation service for public events in a number of major European cities. The extracted semantic information will enrich a digital map, which will provide a friendly interface to the end user.
