Semantic Web Annotation Associating metadata with resources Integration Integrating information from various sources Inference Reasoning over the information we have. Could be light-weight (taxonomy) Could be heavy-weight (logic-style) OWL Integration RDF(S) RDF XML/URIs Annotation Integration Inference

Answers Do we need specific standards? What are the standards to address? Lots of effort on subsymbolic and symbolic data Use existing infrastructures Migration paths MPEG-7 or tagging? Fits with annotation Kind of fits with integration What about inference ?

Lots of effort on subsymbolic and symbolic data

Use existing infrastructures

Migration paths

MPEG-7 or tagging?

Fits with annotation

Answers Feature Extraction? What are you going to do with the results? Scalable tagging? How do I reconcile tags? How do I ensure some consistency? Bridging the Gap Depends on what you’re doing
