National Initiatives meeting on Multimedia Content Description and Retrieval.
This highly successful Workshop was
organised in cooperation with the European Commission. The event brought
together the technical, administrative and financial representatives of the
various national initiatives (included IM2), which have been established
recently in some European countries to support research and technical
development in the area of audio-visual content processing, indexing and
searching for the next generation Internet using semantic technologies, and
which may lead to an internet-based knowledge infrastructure.
The objective of this workshop was
to provide a platform for mutual information and exchange between these
initiatives, the European Commission and the participants.
Top speakers were present from each
of the national initiatives. There was time for discussions with the audience
and amongst the European National Initiatives. The challenges, communalities,
difficulties, targeted/expected impact, success criteria, etc. were tackled. This
workshop addressed how these national initiatives could work together and
benefit from each other.
