As opposed to the domain of analysis and indexing of textual documents, the visual domain has to face the important challenge of matching human interpretations of image information with the numerical image signature derivable by a computer, defined as the semantic gap problem. Bridging the semantic gap has spurred continued interest recently, in particular concerning the explicit representations of a priori knowledge. In many domains, ontologies are gradually being accepted as the key technology to describe the semantics of information. In the multimedia domain, they have shown to be a promising solution for making semantics explicit. As a consequence, many multimedia ontologies have been built either to assist multimedia search and retrieval or to navigate in large multimedia collections. These ontologies are usually only hierarchically structured multimedia concept lexicons (or thesauri), rarely used as formal models that support different kinds of reasoning (through description logics) or engineering operations (ontology building, ontology matching, ontology evolution and dynamics, modularization, etc.). Although an integral part of other research fields, such as text analysis, the full exploitation of ontologies for multimedia analysis is still largely unexplored. The goal of this workshop is to gather three communities of researchers working in close, yet quite disconnected areas, related to semantic image interpretation: i) Image annotation and retrieval, ii) knowledge-based image analysis and iii) ontological engineering and reasoning including fundamental work on description logics or conceptual graphs. ==================================================================== Topics of Interest: ------------------- ? Representations and merging of cross-media semantics; ? Common ontologies and knowledge-based models for image (multimedia) analysis; ? Ontology-based image annotation; ? (Multimedia) Ontology management: ? development, ? integration, ? matching, ? maintenance, ? modularization, ? and evolution; ? Description logics for multimedia representation and analysis; ? Standard and non-standard semantic reasoning for image (multimedia) analysis; ? Image semantics ground truth databases; ? Multimodal representations of multimedia content; ? Machine learning approaches for the linguistic description of visual content; ? Contextual knowledge modeling for image annotation including folksonomies. ==================================================================== Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- * Long Papers (up to 12 pages) * Short Papers (up to 8 pages) Submissions should be formatted to LNCS style and submitted as PDF files. The workshop proceedings will be published as a volume at CEUR Workshop Proceedings. Selected papers will form the basis of a special issue of the journal "Applied Ontology". Please, send submissions to the workshop directly to the workshop chairs using the following emails: * celine.hudelot@ecp.fr * ktodorov@uos.de * herve.le-borgne@cea.fr ==================================================================== Important Dates: ---------------- * October 1 2010 - Papers Submission Deadline * November 1 2010 - Authors Notification of Acceptance * November 10 2010 - Camera-Ready Versions Submission Deadline * December 1-3 2010 - OMIR 2010 ==================================================================== Committees: ----------- Chairs: ------- * C?line Hudelot, MAS Laboratory, Ecole Centrale Paris, France * Konstantin Todorov, MAS Laboratory, Ecole Centrale Paris, France * Herv?
