Title IMGpedia: Enriching the Web of Data with Image Content Analysis
Authors Sebastian Ferrada, Benjamin Bustos, Aidan Hogan
Publication date 2016
Abstract Linked Data rarely takes into account multimedia content, which
forms a central part of the Web. To explore the combination of Linked Data
and multimedia, we are developing IMGpedia: we compute content-based
descriptors for images used in Wikipedia articles and subsequently propose
to link these descriptions with legacy encyclopaedic knowledge-bases such as
DBpedia and Wikidata. On top of this extended knowledge-base, our goal is to
consider a unied query system that accesses both the encyclopaedic data and
the image data. We could also consider enhancing the encyclopaedic knowledge
based on rules applied to co-occurring entities in images, or content-based
analysis, for example. Abstracting away from IMGpedia, we explore generic
methods by which the content of images on the Web can be described in a
standard way and can be considered as rst-class citizens on the Web of Data,
allowing, for example, for combining structured queries with image
similarity search. This short paper thus describes ongoing work on IMGpedia,
with focus on image descriptors.
