Abstract

Summary In order to retrieve and reuse non-textual media, media annotations must explain how a media object is composed of its parts and what the parts represent. Annotations need to link to background knowledge found in existing knowledge sources and to the creation and use of the media object. The representation and understanding of such facets of the media semantics is only possible through a formal language and a corresponding ontology. In this chapter, we analyze the requirements underlying the semantic representation of media objects, explain why the requirements are not fulfilled by most semantic multimedia ontologies and present COMM, a core ontology for multimedia, that has been built re-engineering the current de-facto standard for multimedia annotation, i.e. MPEG-7, and using DOLCE as its underlying foundational ontology to support conceptual clarity and soundness as well as extensibility towards new annotation requirements.
