Abstract

While a lot of basic infrastructure exists now for the Semantic Web (OWL, Editors, Inference-Engines), the lack of semantic metadata is still a major hurdle for the broad success of the Semantic Web. To overcome this obstacle, one needs methods that facilitate and accelerate the creation of metadata on a mass scale. Hence, this address the issue of upgrading the actual Web to the Semantic Web by means of (automated) semantic annotation strategies. Another issue is the semantic indexing and searching of multimedia (and multilingual) data. It is difficult to process completely the content of multimedia data, even with technologies based on natural language processing, image processing, machine vision and speech recognition. Therefore, semantic annotation as a means of supplementing automatic multimedia processing is one of the promising methodologies to to describe content semantically.
