TL;DR: The SemanticMM4U framework is presented, an approach that enhances the state-of-the-art by providing support for deriving semantics at any point in time during the assemble process and integrating it into the syntax of the final presentation formats.
Abstract: Support for personalized multimedia content has become a crucial aspect of today's multimedia applications. We find many different systems and approaches that provide multimedia content tailored to the specific needs and requirements of the users. These systems and approaches exploit semantically-rich information for the multimedia content creation task. However, once the content is created, this very valuable source of information is thrown away. Thus, it is lost for any further processing of the created multimedia presentations. Systems that analyze such presentations can only revive a very limited amount of the semantic information that was initially available and used. Consequently, we present with the SemanticMM4U framework an approach that enhances the state-of-the-art by providing support for deriving semantics at any point in time during the assemble process and integrating it into the syntax of the final presentation formats. By this, the semantics is made machine-readable and machine-processable. It allows for a better indexing, retrieval, and processing of the multimedia presentations.

TL;DR: This tutorial aims to provide a red thread through different issues and to give an outline of where Semantic Web modeling and reasoning needs to further contribute to the area of semantic multimedia for the fruitful interaction between these two fields of computer science.
Abstract: Multimedia constitutes an interesting field of application for Semantic Web and Semantic Web reasoning, as the access and management of multimedia content and context depends strongly on the semantic descriptions of both. At the same time, multimedia resources constitute complex objects, the descriptions of which are involved and require the foundation on sound modeling practice in order to represent findings of low- and high level multimedia analysis and to make them accessible via Semantic Web querying of resources. This tutorial aims to provide a red thread through these different issues and to give an outline of where Semantic Web modeling and reasoning needs to further contribute to the area of semantic multimedia for the fruitful interaction between these two fields of computer science.

TL;DR: The Multimedia Metadata Ontology (M3O) provides a generic modeling framework for representing sophisticated multimedia metadata and allows for integrating the features provided by the existing metadata models and metadata standards.
Abstract: The semantics of rich multimedia presentations in the web such as SMIL, SVG, and Flash cannot or only to a very limited extend be understood by search engines today. This hampers the retrieval of such presentations and makes their archival and management a difficult task. Existing metadata models and metadata standards are either conceptually too narrow, focus on a specific media type only, cannot be used and combined together, or are not practically applicable for the semantic description of rich multimedia presentations.In this paper, we propose the Multimedia Metadata Ontology (M3O) for annotating rich, structured multimedia presentations. The M3O provides a generic modeling framework for representing sophisticated multimedia metadata. It allows for integrating the features provided by the existing metadata models and metadata standards. Our approach bases on Semantic Web technologies and can be easily integrated with multimedia formats such as the W3C standards SMIL and SVG. With the M3O, we unlock the semantics of rich multimedia presentations in the web by making the semantics machine-readable and machine-understandable. The M3O is used with our SemanticMM4U framework for the multi-channel generation of semantically-rich multimedia presentations.

TL;DR: A novel user-oriented cluster-based multimedia delivery solution over VANETs that is able to address vehicle passenger preferences and deliver multimedia content of their interest and increases system stability resulting in a longer life of the elected cluster head compared to the classic Lowest-ID cluster head algorithm.
Abstract: Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET)-based multimedia applications are considered to play a very important role in the future of intelligent transportation systems and vehicular infotainment systems. Socio-economic issues are identified among the main challenges in VANET-based multimedia applications. In response to these challenges, this paper proposes a novel user-oriented cluster-based multimedia delivery solution over VANETs that is able to address vehicle passenger preferences and deliver multimedia content of their interest. Such a solution will support various value added services in the vehicles, e.g. touristic video guide, news, entertainment, etc. In this paper the architecture of the proposed solution is presented together with the cluster-based mechanism employed for multimedia transmissions and the cluster head selection algorithm required for delivery infrastructure management. Simulation-based testing demonstrate how this solution increases system stability resulting in a longer life of the elected cluster head compared to the classic Lowest-ID cluster head algorithm, fact that positively influences the quality of the multimedia transmission.

TL;DR: In this article, a method of presenting personalized additional information along with displayed content includes accessing a content viewing history and a user profile, detecting an event by extracting metadata related to content provided for display, and accessing additional information related to the detected event.
Abstract: A method of presenting personalized additional information along with displayed content includes accessing a content viewing history and a user profile. Detecting an event by extracting metadata related to content provided for display, the content provided for display related to other content not contained within the content viewing history, and accessing additional information related to the detected event. Additional features include overlaying an object onto the content being displayed on the content display device, and displaying background image information the surrounds the content display device in the view of the AR user. Any or all of the features may be present simultaneously.

TL;DR: It is argued that images don't have an intrinsic meaning, but that they are endowed with a meaning by placing them in the context of other images and by the user interaction.
Abstract: In this paper, we briefly discuss some aspects of image semantics and the role that it plays for the design of image databases. We argue that images don't have an intrinsic meaning, but that they are endowed with a meaning by placing them in the context of other images and by the user interaction. From this observation, we conclude that, in an image, database users should be allowed to manipulate not only the individual images, but also the relation between them. We present an interface model based on the manipulation of configurations of images.

TL;DR: GUIDE represents an example of a visible application stream in adaptive hypermedia research, one in which applications are context-aware and able to use context, such as the user's current location, to adapt the presentation of hyperme-dia.
Abstract: 47 The GUIDE project [4, 6] has been developed to provide city visitors with up-to-date and context-aware hypermedia information while they explore the city of Lan-caster in England. Visitors view this information via a handheld GUIDE unit based on the Fujitsu TeamPad 7600 tablet PC, which measures 213x153x15mm, weighs 850g, and is powered by a Pentium 166MHz processor. In GUIDE, the adaptive hypermedia presented to visitors is tailored to both environmental context (the major attractions in the city) and the visitor's personal context. Examples of the personal context used to drive the adaptation process include the visitor's current location , the visitor's profile (that is, the visitor's interests), and the set of attractions already visited. This latter piece of context enables pages of information to reflect those attractions the visitor has already seen. For example, if visitors make a return visit to Lancaster Castle, they are welcomed back. Oberlander [8] uses the term \" coherence \" to describe the tailoring of information in this way. A field trial-based evaluation of the GUIDE system [4] found the response of visitors to such anthropomorphic behavior [9] to be reasonably positive, with some visitors expressing that they felt \" reassured \" Adaptive Hypermedia Context-Aware Tourist GUIDE the role of in a W W here to go and what to do, in the limited amount of time available , are common problems encountered by tourists when visiting a city for the first time. In effect, cities are large information spaces, and in order to navigate these spaces visitors often require numerous guidebooks and maps. However, because guidebooks are general-purpose references, they tend to contain a significant amount of information of little relevance to the interests of a particular individual. When considering the design of a hypermedia system for supporting the information needs of city visitors, the use of \" adaptive hypermedia \" appears the obvious choice for tailoring the information to the interests of the visitor. However, to meet the requirements of this particular application domain, the traditional approach of using a user model as the sole means for driving adaptation is not sufficient. Indeed, GUIDE represents an example of a visible application stream in adaptive hypermedia research, one in which applications are context-aware [3, 10] and able to use context, such as the user's current location, to adapt the presentation of hyperme-dia. Examples of other applications in this stream include [5] and [7].

TL;DR: The proposed system includes a context description model and a client repository and offers device contexts management and querying functions and uses the XQuery language to query the profiles and delivers the results in the form of SOAP services.
Abstract: This paper discusses the problem of content adaptation for mobile devices. The adaptation considers the context of the client and also the environment where the client request is received. A device independent model is defined and used in order to achieve automatic adaptation of the content based on its semantic and the capabilities of the target device. Our system includes a context description model and a client repository and offers device contexts management and querying functions. The proposed system uses the XQuery language to query the profiles and delivers the results in the form of SOAP services.

The Open Archives Initiative (OAI) creates standards and protocols for the interoperability and dissemination of content. Repositories that follow OAI standard metadata protocols benefit by making their data easily accessible to service providers, allowing their content to reach a wider audience. If you want to add publications from your digital repository to ResearchGate, the best way to do this is by using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for (OAI-PMH). We explain more about this below. Once your server software has this functionality enabled, Metadata Harvesting get in touch and we'll determine if the content is right for ResearchGate. The more complete the metadata on repositories is, the more likely the content will be added to ResearchGate.
