Introduction & Topics

The Multimedia Metadata Community aims at bringing together experts from research and industry in the area of multimedia meta data interoperability for collaborative working environments. By establishing a community of professionals it is intended to bridge the gap between an academic research and an industrial scale development of innovative products for natural collaboration, with a strong focus on MPEG-7 & MPEG-21.

In the line of these goals, the 5^th Multimedia Metadata Community Workshop takes place during the 6th International Conference on Knowledge Management, the I-Know 06, 6-9^th September 2006, Graz Austria, which focuses on applications and experience reports of multimedia metadata standards in industry and research.

• Multimedia Analysis and Retrieval

• Content Adaptation and Personalization

• Learning and Multimedia

• Multimedia Interoperability

• Multimedia standards and related issues

• Multimedia Metadata Standards Crosswalking
