Information Society Technologies

The European Commission invites proposals for research and development in multimedia content and tools under Action III of the Information Society Technologies. With a total budget of €564 million, this initiative focuses on integrating multimedia services, enhancing user experience, and fostering creativity in digital libraries and learning environments. Proposed projects should aim to improve access to cultural and scientific content, promote cross-lingual information management, and facilitate personal learning processes. Collaboration and innovation are key to advancing the digital information chain.

  1. Information Society Technologies Key action III: Multmedia contents and Tools Third Call for Proposals Norbert Brinkhoff-Button DG Information Society European Commission

  2. INFSO-D • Research and Development • Multimedia Content and Tools (KA3): 564 M€ • Industrial programmes • Information Market INFO 2000: 65 M€ • Internet Action Plan: 25 M€ • Multilingual Information Society: 15 M€ • Policy initiatives • Green Paper, … Good mix of research and policy actions

  3. Drivers & opportunities • Full digital information chain, new forms of content • Wireless broadband communications, mobile IP • Integrated Internet multimedia and telephony services • Digital audio/video broadcasting, IDTV • Multi-access, multimodal messaging and conferencing • Portable, wearable, in-car devices • Agent technologies Mobile communication Richcontent Digitalbroadcasting Networkinfrastructures

  4. Emphasis on cross-media content human interactivity applications & generic research short to medium term markets Research Focus demonstrators: personalised Web, advanced digital libraries, school of the future, etc middleware: for cross-media, multilingual, multimodal applications standards: media re-presentation & exchange KA3 highlights New models for publishing Natural interactivity

  5. Main research strands • Creative, visual & mobile content - III.1/3/4 • author & deliver interactivemedia • adapt existing content to new infostructure • filter, navigate & visualise digital objects • discover & extract knowledge • Natural & multilingual interaction - III.3 • enable multimodal man-machine interaction • develop multilingual service & device frontends • Education & training - III.2 • design new learning paradigms for schools • develop systems & services for life-long learning

  6. 3rd Call: action lines open • Personalising content • Access to digital collections of cultural and scientific content • School of tomorrow • The learning citizen • Natural interactivity • Cross-lingual information management and knowledge discovery • Working groups and dissemination and awareness actions

  7. Personalising content • Stimulate new marketplaces & business models • Two project lines: • Enable (small) organisations to create personal content for target users (consumers) • Stimulate new Web services providing content-driven services for large communities • Application domains: advertising, profiling... • Full applications as well as smaller feasibility projects (proof of concept) • Interoperability, consumer protection and privacy, business models ...

  8. Access to culture and science • Better access for citizens & professionals • Advanced digital library applications • navigation, search and retrieval for inter-operable access to distributed resources • International science collaboratoria • standards, tools and servers for collaborative analysis of scientific data • User-driven approach involving institutional actors • Integration, demonstration, test-beds… • Collaboration with national & international prog‘s Safegarding culture

  9. School of tomorrow • Improve ICT-driven learning in primary and secondary schools • Scope • advanced learning environments and materials • cognitive activities (autonomy, creativity, team work) • solutions for mobile learning (remote access) • Organisational reengineering and pedagogical and socio-economic evaluation • Large scale demonstrations

  10. The learning citizen • New approaches for Life Long Learning • Targets individuals outside formal education and training settings • Scope: • managing personal learning processes • brokerage of learning services (assessment) • Demonstrations, including user evaluations and best practice definition

  11. Natural interactivity • Addresses people to data/systems and people to people • Aim is to increase “naturalness” • Emphasis on: • user/information interfaces • multimodal dialogues • highly conversational systems • Provide platform for multidisciplinary collaborations (speech, language, cognition, vision, etc.) • Enabling and applied research (showcases)

  12. Cross-lingual information management • Extract knowledge from digital texts, messages, AV objects, etc • Scope • information retrieval, categorisation and profiling • topic identification, summarisation, fact & feature detection and extraction... using language processing techniques (semantic analysis) • Applications (showcases) & longer-term research • Platform for international collaborations

  13. Support • Specific KA3 support measures (III.5.1: fixed deadline): • Working groups on standards & best practice: specific to KA3 research areas • Virtual exhibitions & showcases: access to leading edge technologies • National focal points (HLT): speed up the deployment of research results … in addition to continuous scheme

  14. Outlook • This Call • 6 RTD lines • focus on content access and delivery, and dialogue • 4th Call • 5 RTD lines plus take-up • focus on creative, visual and mobile content • 5th Call • not relevant for KA3
