The Multimedia Semantic Web

It is well known that context plays an important role in the meaning of a work of art. This paper addresses the dynamic context of a collection of linked multimedia documents, of which the web is a perfect example. Contextual document semantics emerge through identification of various users’ browsing paths though this multimedia collection. In this paper, we present techniques that use multimedia information as part of this determination. Some implications of our approach are that the author of a webpage cannot completely define that document’s semantics and that semantics emerge through use.
