Re: Collecting examples of image annotation on the semantic web

Jacco,
To complement the list you maintain [1], I would like to mention:
    - The PhotoStuff tool: http://www.mindswap.org/2003/PhotoStuff/
This image annotation tool for the Semantic Web allows to annotate images
and contents of specific regions in images according to several OWL
ontologies of any domain. Moreover, the metadata embedded inside the JPEG
files are converted into RDF. The annotations can then be published and
shared on the Web [2].
    - The Network of Excellence "Content-Based Semantic Scene Analysis &
Information Retrieval" http://www.schema-ist.org/SCHEMA/
Among the objectives of SCHEMA is the design of a general architecture for
content-based analysis, representation indexing and retrieval. The reference
system developped integrates a non-normative part of the MPEG-7 standard and
the MPEG-7 XM software, for extracting, coding and storing in the database
standardized descriptors based on the output of the analysis modules. The
system can also support high level (semantic) descriptors and the
integration of visual media indexing and retrieval with other modalities
(like text and audio based indexing and retrieval).
