Web of Data in the Context of Multimedia (WoDMM)

Bernhard Haslhofer, Bernhard Schandl, Andreas Langegger, Wolfgang Halb and Tobias Buerger

The Web of Data aims at exposing data as resources on the Web and interlinking them with semantically related resources. This tutorial shows how multimedia content can be integrated into the Web of Data from a practical point of view and how users and developers can consume and benefit from linked data. Attendees will receive an easy introduction into the technical principles of the Web of Data, accompanied with practical demos. The tutorial is split into two parts: in the first part, an overview of the Web of Data and the Linking Open Data (LOD) initiative is given. The second part focuses on aspects of multimedia in the context of the Web of Data.
The slides are available online.

MPEG Metadata for Context-Aware Multimedia Applications (MPEG)

Christian Timmerer and Mathias Lux

The aim of this tutorial is to give an overview about MPEG metadata formats enabling the development and deployment of content- and context-aware multimedia applications. It is important to note that these metadata formats will not only be addressed theoretically but also by means of concrete use case scenarios and comprehensive examples. Additionally, these concepts will be demonstrated by prototype software implementations.

A Semantic Multimedia Web: Create, Annotate, Present and Share your Media (SemMMW)

Lynda Hardman and Raphaël Troncy

The success of content-centered (social) Web 2.0 services contributes to an ever growing amount of digital multimedia content available on the Web. Video advertisement is becoming more and more popular and films, music and videoclips are largely consumed from legacy commercial databases. Re-using such multimedia material is, however, still a hard problem. Why is it so difficult to find appropriate multimedia content, to reuse and repurpose content previously published and to adapt interfaces to these content according to different user needs?

This tutorial proposes to cover these questions. Based on established media workflow practices, we describe a small number of fundamental processes of media production. We explain how multimedia metadata can be represented, attached to the content it describes, and benefits from the web that contains more and more formalized knowledge (the Web of linked data). We show how web applications can benefit from semantic metadata for creating, searching and presenting multimedia content.
