EU IST Integrated Project "aceMedia"

Short description

aceMedia focuses on generating value and benefits to end users, content providers, network operators, and multimedia equipment manufacturers, by introducing, developing and implementing a system based on an innovative concept of knowledge assisted, adaptive multimedia content management, addressing user needs.

The main technological objectives are to discover and exploit knowledge inherent to the content in order to make content more relevant to the user; to automate annotation at all levels; and to add functionality to ease content creation, transmission, search, access, consumption and re-use. In addition, available user and terminal profiles, the extracted semantic content descriptions and advanced mining methods will be used to provide user and network adaptive transmission and terminal optimised rendering.

Detailed information is available on the ace Media website.

There is also a tool for semantic annotation of multimedia data which has been developed in the context of this project: M-OntoMat-Annotizer.
