Aim & Topics
--------------
The aim of the DataTV 2019 workshop will be to address the increasing importance and relevance of richly granular and semantically expressive data about TV content in the media value chain. Such data needs extraction, modelling and management before it can be meaningfully reused in new, innovative services for TV content such as:
- Content Summarisation (e.g. to provide highlights of a program according to a specific user, theme or channel)
- Recommendation and Scheduling across Publication Channels (Broadcast, Streaming, Social Networks)
- In Stream Personalisation of Content (both spatial and temporal modification of text, audio, video)
- The workshop will solicit latest research and development in all areas of data creation and management for TV content and aims to support the growth of a community of researchers and practitioners interested in data value for personalised TV

Topics for the workshop include:
- Curation of this data throughout the media value chain, e.g. use of the MPEG Value Chain Ontology
- Matching of TV content data with user profiles for recommendation or personalisation (respecting data privacy and security)
- Tools and services for the composition of personalised TV, including object based media, making use of TV content data (e.g. creation of video summaries or alternative content versions, recommendation of auxiliary assets for delivery alongside TV content, dynamic insertion or modification of media in streams)

Call for Papers
----------------
DataTV 2019 foresees two types of submission, full papers which will have an oral presentation at the workshop and short papers which may be presented as either a poster or a demo at the workshop:

- Full papers (7000-9000 words in New SIGCHI Proceedings Format (https://tvx.acm.org/2019/submission-templates/) with 150 word abstract) describing original research, to be presented in the oral session, which covers at least one of the workshop topics. We expect papers to show data-driven solutions which are completed or close to completion.
- Short papers (3500-5500 words in New SIGCHI Proceedings Format (https://tvx.acm.org/2019/submission-templates/) with 150 word abstract) describing works in progress or demos, to be included in the poster and demo session. Please specifically provide links to the work that will be presented and outline in the short paper why this is relevant to the topic of Data-driven TV as well as identify if the submission is for a poster or a demo to be shown at the workshop. We expect new concepts and early work-in-progress to be reported here.
