What we're trying to do
Our ultimate goal is to create an environment that
facilitates end-users in seeing meaningful connections among
individual items (stories, photos, graphics, videos) through
underlying knowledge of the descriptions of the items, their
relationships and related background knowledge. This requires
semantic metadata models to improve metadata interoperability
along the entire production chain.
