JPEG is looking for technologies that enable the description of digital still images with technical, administrative and semantic metadata compliant with the RDF standard and the principles of Linked Data. JPEG is interested in ontologies that help circumventing the current proliferation of vocabularies for image description by providing a core set of terms and relationships, thus facilitating the cross-community data integration of information related to digital images. The call puts an special focus on ontologies providing a rich set of constructs for semantic visual content description, including, but not limited to, a uniform description of identities, features, aspect, relationships, actions and emotional information of people appearing in the images, as well as description of events, locations and objects.

Proposals into this effort (including partial proposals and reports of experimental investigations) are strongly encouraged and will be evaluated and formalized through the work of JPEG. With this purpose, interested parties and stakeholders are also encouraged to participate in the 60th JPEG meeting in Incheon, Korea (22nd - 26th April 2013).
