Multimedia and the Semantic Web Invitation for participation 29 May 2005, to be held as part of ESWC05 (www.eswc2005.org) http://www.acemedia.org/ESWC2005_MSW/index.html This one day workshop on Multimedia and the Semantic Web aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the multimedia and Semantic Web domains in order to assist in forming bridges between the communities for mutual benefit. This workshop features invited papers from keynote speakers Guus Schreiber and Monica Schraefel, as well as peer-reviewed papers examining the interaction of Semantic Web and multimedia technologies, with a balance of topics from the perspective of the Semantic Web and from the perspective of multimedia applications. Multimedia community participants are invited to benefit from the workshop in discovering how Semantic Web technologies can be used to increase the value of image, video and multimedia assets, for example by the use of ontologies and reasoning to assist with multimedia analysis, or identification means to facilitate content location. Semantic Web researchers are encouraged to join the workshop to benefit from the presentation of results from multimedia based research, which demonstrate important applications which could be enhanced by Semantic Web technologies. We anticipate some significant debate owing to differences in opinions about approaches to take in solving the relevant joint problems, and we invite you to join the workshop to give your views on these subjects. About the keynote speakers Monica Schraefel : Monica Schraefel is a Senior Lecturer in the Intelligence, Agents and Multimedia Group, Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton. Her main area of research is interaction design for information systems and ubiquitous computing environments. Guus Schreiber is Professor of Intelligent Information Systems at the Free University Amsterdam. He is co-chair of the W3C Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group and scientific coordinator of the IST Network Knowledge Web. He has been involved in numerous European and Dutch research projects, including KADS & KADS-II (on methodologies for knowledge-system development), REFLECT (reflective reasoning), GAMES (medical knowledge systems), KACTUS (technical ontologies), IBROW (Intelligent Brokering on the Web) and MIA (Multimedia Information Analysis).
