Annotation of Multimedia Using onto Media

Abstract

While ontologies exist for the annotation of monomedia, interoperability between these schemes is an important issue. The OntoMedia ontology consists of a generic core, capable of representing a diverse range of media, as well as extension ontologies to focus on specific formats. This paper provides an overview of the OntoMedia ontologies, together with a detailed case study when applied to video, a scripted form, and an associated short story.

a scene from Total Recall was annotated such that the script and associated characters could be represented the framework. The characters from the related book, ‘We Can Remember It For You Wholesale’ were also annotated, and our example queries demonstrate how the two forms may be linked
