hop of the Multimedia Metadata Community will be held in conjuction with the 4th International Conference on Semantic and Digital Media Technologies (SAMT2009), December 2-4, 2009 in Graz Austria. The series of workshops have been held regularly to bring international researchers and application developers to share knowledge of multimedia semantics, multimedia processing, multimedia metadata standards such as MPEG-7 and MPEG-21, and multimedia applications. They have been organized by members of the Multimedia Metadata Community. I attended the 9th International Workshop of the Multimedia Metadata Community (WMM2009) in Toulouse, France in March 2009. The proceedings are published in the CEUR Workshop site with a special focus on context-aware mobile multimedia services.Topics of interest are how multimedia metadata standards and multimedia ontologies are mapped or integrated into databases, how multimedia query languages are built, and how semantic queries are optimized and processed. Moreover, we are interested how multimedia data services are conceived to ensure interoperability, how to improve security and reliability of access and storage of multimedia data and metadata. Adaptation of multimedia, semantic enrichment of multimedia and bridging of media breaks are typical examples of advanced multimedia database services.
Important dates: submission deadline will be September 22, 2009.
