<pasquale> regrets also roberto ellero

Agenda approved

<giovannit> hello

<giovannit> :-)

Overall goal of this XG: give advice to the W3C, what to do with the multimedia topic in general ? WG ? Recommendation Track ?

2. XG Updates

Self presentation!

Raphael: CWI, Amsterdam, interest in multimedia ontologies, aligning ontologies, interoperability problems with several multimedia vocabularies

Jeff Z. Pan, lecturer in University of Aberden, interest in formal logic, RDF

<ipratika> I’m Ioannis Pratikakis, working as a Research Scientist at the Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications of the NCSR “Demokritos”, Athens, Greece. My research interests include content-based multimedia search and retrieval as well as knowledge-driven multimedia analysis concerning modalities like images, video and 3D graphics.

<giovannit> is this logged/wikied?

<jacco> yes, this is logged

Thomas: University of Koblenz, DE, work in aceMedia, XMedia, and K-Space. Liaison work for Koblenz between the XG and these projects

K-Space member of W3C from July 1st officially

Vassilis: NTUA, Greece. Interest: multimedia semantics, fuzzy description logics

Giorgos: knowledge technologies for multimedia, uncertainty

Chris: University of Maryland, US. Interest: image annotation using ontologies

Melliyal, Oracle, US. Interest: work on semantics, how semantics can be used for better search of media items, interoperability of metadata

Pasquale, Napoli, Italy, EU: Web accessible specialist, maintain the Italian Semantic Web portal

<giovannit> what is the order? web page ? which web page? :-) such a newbie.. sorry

Patrizia, CNR, Pisa, Italy: work in the MUSCLE NoE

Massimo, CNR, Pisa, Italy: MUSCLE project, interest in ontologies and multimedia

<alessio> I'm Alessio Cartocci, an italian senior consultant in accessibility, web standards and multimedia application. As IWA Italy member i partecipate to the project "Webaccessibile". My research interests are semantics, media streaming and distribution, cross-links between standards, accessibility and cultural projects.

<alessio> :-)

Yiannis, NTUA, Greece: image processing and analysis; has been involved in several projects dealing with multimedia and SW technologies (aceMedia, K-Space, MeSH, XMedia); local organizer of the SAMT conference

Giovanni, University of Ancona, Italy. Interests: interoperability MPEG-7/RDF, Peer to Peer technologies

<thristo> ovviamente si

<thristo> ops...

Paul, DFKI, DE: represents Thierry and Stefan. Expertise in linguistic technologies, connection between linguistics descriptors and images descriptors and ontologies

<thristo> I'm Christian Morbodoni from University of Ancona Italy, I'm doing my PhD and I work with Giovanni, so I think He already said the important things...

3. LIAISON SWBPD

<giovannit> resources that might be of interest to define our backgroup (Semedia) http://dbin.org - Semantic Web rich client featuring P2P for rdf annotations exchange http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpeg7audiodb http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpeg7audioenc Extraction and processing of MPEG-7 audio metadata

<patriziaasirelli> we would have to say that Ovidio Salvetti is in our group and he will register as member as well

Image Semantic on the Semantic Web: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/MM/image_annotation.html

<chalaschek> This is fine with me.

<Melli> Yes.

<pasquale> ok

<patriziaasirelli> this is fine for us

<TastenTom> its fine, ok

<giovannit> ok

<thristo> yup

Accept ownership of the documents produced by the SWBPD MM Task Force

?

<giovannit> where do i find a definition of "accepting the ownership" ? :-)

RESOLVED

<JeffP> who is talking?

Views / Expectations of this XG

Thomas: representation of multimedia metadata, different aspect of multimedia metadata, multimedia ontologies (DOLCE, MPEG-7)

Chris: following the work done in the MM TF

Melliyal: show practically how semantics can be useful ! showcase, killer application

<giovannit> +1 for real applications

Pasquale: web accessibility (combine knowledge) ... don't get the end :-(

<pasquale> My desire: an accessible Web more Semantic, and a Semantic Web more accessible ;-)

Patrizia: Retrieval of multimeia content, inference

Yiannis: automatic analysis, automatic annotation of images, News Video (TrecVideo), many vocabularies used

Giovanni: real applications, real use cases where semantics is needed in multmedia applications

Paul: automatic annotation (video and images)

Vassilis: continue the work of the MM TF

<VassilisTzouvaras> sorry my line was droped

<VassilisTzouvaras> but I wanted to point the interoperability issue in the cultural domain

<VassilisTzouvaras> and the multilinguality issue

Rapahel & Jacco: use case, guidelines, best practices for adding a semantic layer (RDF) on top of the many existing multimedia standards, vocabularies, format

4. Face 2 Face

only 4 answers so far

<giovannit> Me and Christian Morbidoni will be in Amsterdam, no matter if we can reach the form or not :-) (we dont have the password)

ok Giovanni, thanks

<patriziaasirelli> I have tried to register but I think I need to become a member first?

yes Patrizia, just you will come in Amsterdam from Pisa ?
