Multimedia Information Extraction in Ontology-based Semantic Annotation of Product Catalogues

The demand for efficient methods for extracting knowledge from multimedia content has led to a growing research community investigating the convergence of multimedia and knowledge technologies. In this paper we describe a methodology for extracting multimedia information from product catalogues empowered by the synergetic use and extension of a domain ontology. The methodology was implemented in the Trade Fair Advanced Semantic Annotation Pipeline of the VIKE-framework.
