Reseña del libro "multimedia content and the semantic web: standards, methods and tools"

the main contribution of the proposed book will be to bring together the technologies and tools used for the description and processing of multimedia content with the standards and the emerging ideas of the shared knowledge representation, provided by the semantic web. the wide number of researchers interested in the above areas, will find in the proposed book a common language and a common understanding of the main problems that arise in the synergism of the areas of knowledge technologies and multimedia content analysis. this common language will be built by the contributors of the book that are leaders in the research and development of tools in multimedia content analysis, mpeg-7, mpeg-21 and semantic web. with the current changes driven by the expansion of the world wide web, this book uses a different approach from other books on the market: it applies ontologies to electronically available information to improve the quality of knowledge management in large and distributed organizations. ontologies are formal theories supporting knowledge sharing and reuse. they can be used to explicitly represent semantics of semi-structured information. these enable sophisticated automatic support for acquiring, maintaining and accessing information. methodology and tools are developed for intelligent access to large volumes of semi-structured and textual information sources in intra- and extra-, and internet-based environments to employ the full power of ontologies in supporting knowledge management from the information client perspective and the information provider. the semantic web is a very important initiative affecting the future of the www that is currently generating huge interest. the book covers several highly significant contributions to the semantic web research effort, including a new language for defining ontologies, several novel software tools and a coherent methodology for the application of the tools for business advantage. it also provides 3 case studies which give examples of the real benefits to be derived from the adoption of semantic-web based ontologies in real world situations. as such, the book is an excellent mixture of theory, tools and applications in an important area of www research.
