Objective ICT-2007.4.2 (ICT-2007.4.4): Intelligent Content and Semantics
Target outcome
Medium term:
a) Advanced authoring environments for the creation of novel forms of interactive and
expressive content enabling multimodal experimentation and non-linear story-telling.
These environments will ease content sharing and remixing, also by non-expert users, by automatically tagging content with semantic metadata and by using open standards to store it in networked repositories supporting symbolic and similarity-based indexing and
search capabilities, for all content types.
b) Collaborative automated workflow environments to manage the lifecycle of novel and legacy media and enterprise content assets, from the acquisition of reference materials to the versioning, packaging and repurposing of complex products, including their linguistic
and cultural adaptation to target markets and user groups. Empirical results from the psychology of human perception and attention will be used to identify salient multimedia segments and apply summarisation and encoding schemes that will improve content storage and transmission without affecting its perceptual properties.
c) Architectures and technologies for personalised distribution, presentation and consumption of self-aware, adaptive content. Detecting and exploiting emergent ambient intelligence they will use features embedded in content objects and rendering equipment to enable dynamic device adaptation, immersive multimodal experiences and contextual
