First Worldwide Web Workshop on Linked Media (LiME-2013)

If the future Web will be able to fully use the scale and quality of online media, a Web scale layer of structured media annotation is needed, which we call Linked Media. This 1st world wide web workshop on Linked Media (LiME-2013) aims at promoting the principles of Linked Media on the Web by gathering media owner stakeholders and semantic media researchers to exchange current research and development work on online media description creation, publication, and processing. Specifically, we aim to promote a platform where automatic multimedia analysis results can be integrated into online media descriptions, making media more easily shared, queried and re-used. This will offer a wide range of possibilities for various stakeholders in the creative industries. We foresee an opportunity to build a core consensus on Linked Media technology and launch Linked Media for the Web, at the WWW2013 conference. We see WWW as an outstanding opportunity to kick-start collaboration on this emerging field of research.
