A User Centered Annotation Methodology for Multimedia Content

Fully automated solutions for semantic annotation of multimedia content still do not deliver satisfying results. Most manual ontologybased annotation approaches are not suitable for end users who are not experienced with navigating huge ontologies or extending the ontologies used to annotate. We thus present an annotation methodology which supports the user in the aforementioned tasks. This lowers the entrybarrier for non-experienced users to produce ontology based annotations and thus could be used in situations in which annotation should happen just-in-time during the creation of the media which is being annotated.
