This event took place on 14th February 2008 at 10:15am (10:15 GMT)
Berrill Lecture Theatre, The Open University, Walton Hall Campus, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom
Chair: Prof Stefan Rueger, KMi (OU)
The purpose of this workshop is to explore possible future directions of Multimedia Knowledge Management from the perspectives of different areas: Information Retrieval, Databases, Semantic Web, Industrial Applications, Human-Computer-Interaction and the Arts. Experts in these respective areas have agreed to give a short talk and discuss in a panel session with the audience at the future and synergies that these research area might hold:
The workshop will reflect on a rapidly changing world of digital multimedia: communities create huge resources (wikiversity and -pedia, Flickr photo sharing); video is available in virtually unlimited quantity (youtube); broadcasters brace themselves for video-on-demand rather than linear channels; personalisation is on the rise not only at online-shop portals and iTune playlists but also in specific drugs for your genes; folksonomies replace taxonomies; thresholds of making web-services a business vanish as storage space and cpu-time become scalable commodities (the amazon cloud, web 2.0); people discover the long tail, where all is made available and the difficulty is "just" to find it. Where is all this going?
This workshop is designed to bring together exponents from different, but related multimedia knowledge management areas, share knowledge, explore possible interactions, understand different perspectives, and take first steps towards developing future collaborations.
