Summary

In order to retrieve and reuse non-textual media, media annotations must explain how a media object is composed of its parts and what the parts represent. Annotations need to link to background knowledge found in existing knowledge sources and to the creation and use of the media object. The representation and understanding of such facets of the media semantics is only possible through a formal language and a corresponding ontology. In this chapter, we analyze the requirements underlying the semantic representation of media objects, explain why the requirements are not fulfilled by most semantic multimedia ontologies and present COMM, a core ontology for multimedia, that has been built re-engineering the current de-facto standard for multimedia annotation, i.e. MPEG-7, and using DOLCE as its underlying foundational ontology to support conceptual clarity and soundness as well as extensibility towards new annotation requirements.

digital-data entities are DOLCE endurants, i.e. entities which exist in time and space.
 
16
Events, processes or phenomena are examples of perdurants. endurants participate in perdurants.

Examples of the axiomatization are available on the COMM website.

The scheme used in Fig. 3 is instance:Concept, the usual UML notation.

In this example, the domain ontology corresponds to a collection of wikipedia URI’s.
