DLMedia: an ontology mediated multimedia information retrieval system

We outline DLMedia, an ontology mediated multimedia information retrieval system, which combines logic-based retrieval with multimedia feature-based similarity retrieval. An ontology layer may be used to define (in terms of a DLR-Lite like description logic) the relevant abstract concepts and relations of the application domain, while a content-based multimedia retrieval system is used for feature-based retrieval.
