This document is the accompanying report for the first version of the iMP ontology, available at http://imp.deri.ie/ontology/ – it explains its structure and the methodology used. We note that the ontology is a live document, intended and expected to evolve over the time, based on input by the partners and as we gain deeper knowledge [...]

This document is the report for the containing libraries which implement procedures based on the ontologies, the related documentation, and the proposals for any standards and data formats that may be shared with the distribution and postproduction community.
Four metadata languages are described: RDF, RDFS, OWL and SPARQL. For each one of them the report will [...]

The paper “Understanding Linked Open Data as a Web-Scale Database” has been accepted for publication at the Second International Conference on Advances in Databases, Knowledge, and Data Applications. Co-author Dr. Michael Hausenblas, NUIG, notes that this is an important contribution to the work carried out in WP3 and WP5.

The metadatabase – a metadata centric alternative access method to the audiovisual content stored on a general-purpose filesystem – provides a powerful basis for managing and searching large volumes of distributed files typically found in a post-production environment. The architecture of the metadatabase allows a reliable and robust representation of  the underlying filesystem in real [...]

The W3C Media Fragments Working Group has published the first public working draft of the Media Fragments URI 1.0 syntax and semantics. Dr. Michael Hausenblas from iMP member NUIG has contributed to the draft, which feeds into the overall iMP metadata architecture.

The iMP ontology is created and maintained with Neologism [1], a simple web-based RDF Schema vocabulary editor and publishing system, producing output compliant to Linked Data [2]. Neologism is is written in PHP and built on the Drupal platform [3].
For more information on Neologism contact Dr. Michael Hausenblas ( michael.hausenblas@deri.org), Linked Data Research Centre, DERI, [...]

Researcher from four different institutions, including Dr. Michael Hausenblas (from iMP partner NUIG) presented the paper “Interlinking Multimedia: How to Apply Linked Data Principles to Multimedia Fragments” at the Linked Data on the Web workshop (LDOW2009) during WWW09 and received very good feedback. The research carried out contributes to the media meta-database design of iMP [...]
