>               http://www.linkedtv.eu/event/LiME2014/
> ===================================================================
>
> The workshop is co-located with the ESWC 2014 conference held in 
> Heraklion, Greece on 25-29 May 2014.
>
> *Deadlines*:
>  - Submission deadline: March 6, 2014, 23:59PM Hawaii Time
>  - Notifications: April 1, 2014, 23:59PM Hawaii Time
>  - Camera ready version: April 15, 2014, 23:59PM Hawaii Time
>
> Goals of the workshop:
>
> If the future Web will be able to fully use the scale and quality of 
> online media, a Web scale layer of structured and semantic media 
> annotation is needed, which we call *Linked Media*. Drawing on the 
> success of the Linked Data movement, we believe annotation of media 
> using Linked Data concepts can be the basis for Web-wide media 
> interlinking based on concept matching and relationships.
>
> This 2nd international workshop on Linked Media (LiME'2014), building 
> on last year's successful event held at WWW 2013, aims at promoting 
> the principles of Linked Media on the Web by gathering semantic 
> multimedia and Linked Data researchers to exchange current research 
> and development work on creating conceptual descriptions of media 
> items, multimedia metadata publication on the Web, and its semantic 
> processing, particular based on Linked Data approaches to concept 
> matching and relationships. Specifically, we aim to build a research 
> community to promote a future Web where automated multimedia analysis 
> results can be used as a basis to integrate Linked Data-based 
> conceptual annotations into structured media descriptions, which can 
> be published and shared online. When media descriptions are more 
> easily findable and processable, new applications and services can be 
> created in which online media is more easily shared, retrieved, 
> re-used and re-purposed. This will offer a wide range of possibilities 
> for various stakeholders in the creative industries.
>
> Workshop topics and themes:
>
> To push further the evolution of the Rich Media Web, and to facilitate 
> its convergence with the Semantic Web, it is essential to establish 
> consensus on online media annotation standards, the use of semantics 
> in describing what media represents, and demonstrate approaches to 
> leverage such structured and semantic media descriptions in Web 
> applications. While non-textual content is often now the first 
> destination of online agents rather than HTML/textual resources, and 
> thus access to structured annotation of the online media is 
> increasingly important for new Web applications capable of media 
> search, retrieval, adaptation and presentation, the online media 
> annotation space is still limited, fragmented and lacking in consensus 
> for building Web tools and interfaces to support it.
>
> LiME'2014 focuses on identifying the key building blocks required to 
> foster the development of new Web tools and interfaces that will 
> support the growth and re-use of Linked Media, which is inspired by 
> the Linked Data movement for making structured descriptions of 
> resources more easily available online.
>
> The workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
> * Approaches to online media descriptions
>   - Tools and approaches aligning the fragmented approaches to online 
> media description, its processing and publication, e.g. based around 
> Linked Data, W3C Media Ontology and Media Fragments URI.
>   - Tools and approaches to search and retrieval of online media based 
> on its structured description, scaling to the Web
>   - Tools and approaches addressing issues of trust, quality and 
> rights of online media
> * Extracting and linking
>   - Tools and approaches to lower the cost of creating structured 
> descriptions of online media resources
>   - New methods of automatic, real time, metadata extraction of any 
> online media content (including live streams)
>   - Ideas how to incorporate Linked Data into media description (and 
> benefit from the additional metadata of the Linked Data cloud)
>   - New methods for automatically assessing the suitability of 
> (non-trusted) content for interweaving (e.g. violence detection, 
> nudity detection), and publishing such assessments
> * Showcases, business models and assessment
>   - New Web applications making use of Linked Media (across different 
> platforms) including evaluation with end-users and/or suitable 
> business models
>   - Approaches to tracking user interaction with media (and exploiting 
> this knowledge to enrich annotations)
>
> The workshop is sponsored by the EU projects LinkedTV 
> (http://www.linkedtv.eu) and MICO (http://www.mico-project.eu/) as 
> well as the large open source community around Apache Stanbol 
> (http://stanbol.apache.org/) & Apache Marmotta 
> (http://marmotta.apache.org/).
>
> Submission:
>
> Submissions should not exceed 12 pages and are to be formatted 
> according to Springer LNCS guidelines 
> (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0) and 
> submitted to https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lime2014. 
> Papers should be submitted in PDF format. We encourage various types 
> of submission:
>   - full papers (max 12 pages) for mature work which has been subject 
> to evaluation
>   - demo submissions (max 5 pages) for demos, software and platforms 
> which may be able to support a part of the Linked Media ecosystem
> The workshop proceedings will be published online through CEUR-WS. A 
> selection of the best papers from the workshop will also appear in an 
> LNCS companion volume of ESWC 2014.
