The step-by-step approach guides the reader from fundamental enabling technologies of ontologies, analysis and reasoning, through to applications which have hitherto had less attention such as personalisation of multimedia content and personalised content adaptation.
Thorough coverage of all relevant topics is given, including ontologies for low level multimedia feature representation, higher level multimedia systems representations, application of multimedia ontologies for visual analysis and finally usage of multimedia and knowledge technologies for applications.
Presenting a fundamental work which can serve as a reference book for researchers and graduate students going forward, this book is an invaluable tool.
