3 research lines3 research lines
1. Cross-media Content (call 2):new forms of digital content: creativity, interactivity, user experience & control, cross-platform access & delivery…
2. Content & Knowledge (call 4):intelligent content objects: metadata generation / extraction, semantic indexing & retrieval, aggregation, personalisation, workflow ...
3. Knowledge (calls 1 & 4):… next foil
Semantic Web’s and beyondSemantic Web’s and beyond
3. Knowledge:– intersection of Web, MM and KR&R
– networked information & communities
– web/multimedia "documents": text + image, video, audio, shapes …
– automation of knowledge lifecycle
– from static to dynamic information, interaction, work flows …
– data semantics as well as evolving processes & tasks
Support for Semantic Web projects since 2002!
2 research foci2 research foci
• Knowledge acquisition & modelling,capturing knowledge from raw information and multimedia content
– multimedia content analysis, semantic annotation & categorisation
– ontology evolution, knowledge extraction
– content harvesting, web/multimedia mining
– searching on distributed resources
• Knowledge sharing and use,exploiting semantically enriched information to provide actionable meaning
– collaboration, knowledge sharing
– user & context modelling, personalisation
– semantic web services & business processes
– interworking & legacy systems …
Outcome of Call-4Outcome of Call-4
• 150+ submissions received
• 25 proposals retained, nearly 250 organisations

Towards FP7Towards FP7
• New framework expected to start end 2006
• Main proposals (FP, SPs, RfP) forwarded to Council & Parliament
• Significant budget increase … depending on EU financial perspectives after 2006
• Traditional as well as new SPs (eg Space)
• Traditional collaborative research (Cooperation SP) as well as grants for individual teams (Ideas SP)
• IST rebranded - now simply ICT, ~2 M€ / year• still the largest thematic component within FP• centred around 4 components:
– Core Technologies (incl. Knowledge)– Integration Environments (eg personal, home)– Application Poles (incl. Content)– Future and Emerging Technologies
• Knowledge placed next to (human & artificial) Cognition• Content (commercial, corporate) next to educational &
cultural content• by and large, the proposed structure does not follow
current DG-INFSO organisational lines …

ICT research within FP7ICT research within FP7
TimeplanTimeplan• timeframe:
– phase 1 (directions & priorities) March 2006– phase 2 (strong justification!) March-May– phase 3 (workprogramme) June-July– phase 4 (focus of initial calls) July-Sept– phase 5 (spreading the word…) Oct-Dec
• elicit input from ALL relevant circles:– research topics
• continuity vs. new directions• emerging challenges vs. gaps & failures in FP6• long term research vs. development & validation• relationships vis-a-vis adjacent topical areas
– instruments & shared infrastructures– stakeholders: S&T communities & disciplines– ICT industry, user industries
We need your input, asap!We need your input, asap!
• work ahead:– assess FP6 portfolio, identify gaps & duplications
– screen vendors & integrators, market drivers & products
– gather socio-economic justification, facts & figures
– sounding board (virtual / physical meetings)
– expert roundtables (Bxl / Lux / at major conferences)
– open public consultation• by email
• web based
• for each candidate research topic:– why public intervention
– why at EU level, rationale & added value
– expected impact (scientific, technological, economic)
– time-to-exploitation & (eventual) application space
Some issuesSome issues
• Knowledge & Content the largest topical area in FP6, budget likely to remain constant in FP7, so– ongoing convergence of Knowledge & Content tracks
– which research lines can be discontinued to make room for new research topics
– how to share more widely and effectively precompetitive research results
– how to enhance impact & promote up-take: more focused approach to application tasks & domains?
– how to forster more ambitious endeavours
– how to stimulate synergy with national & industrial initiatives
– how to broaden the programme base• more research centres, more companies, more high-tech users
– how to consolidate foundations & middleware, how to progress towards flexible & scaleable reference architectures …
