| Basic ideas about “Smart Archives” and the role of semantics| Case study: Smart Content Factory| Case study: Smart Media Archive| Case study: Live Staging of Media Events (LIVE)| Case study: Single Point of Access Semantic Media Repository
| In his talk Georg Güntner will summarize personal experiences with knowledge-based approaches in rich media archives and collections. The presentation will be based on three recent research projects which are in different states of realization: “Smart Media Archives” developed a semantically-enhanced index for ORF’s (the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation) media archive. “LIVE Staging of Media Events” showed ways to combine external knowledge spaces with media clips in real-time. Finally, “SAMY” a project conducted in co-operation with LBI Linz and basis wien (a documentation centre for contemporary art) aims at the creation of a single point of access semantic media repository framework for cultural collections and archives.
| Georg Güntner is head of the application area “Digital Media” at Salzburg Research and in this function also leads Salzburg NewMediaLab, a centre of excellence for applied research, combining approaches from multimedia content management, semantic technologies and social software to create new content structures and behavior, also denoted as “smart content”.
| Founded in 1996, Salzburg Research (SRFG) is the regional non-profit research organisation of the State of Salzburg
| Salzburg Research is located at Techno-Z Salzburg which focuses on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)

| The markets:| Corporate, community based & personal audiovisual collections
(archives, libraries): spanning from YouTube to the Austrian National Library
| Media producers: broadcasters, film and games industry| Learning applications, industrial applications| „Embedded publishers“, “Embedded archives”| Media analysts
| The „prosumer crisis“ as a driving factor:| Consumers become producers| Content production gets easier: The amount of manageable assets
explodes.| Professional content production is expensive: re-use is mandatory| Solutions of the prosumer crisis depend heavily on improvements of
| Definition:| The term denotes a concept for new type of digital content developed in
the course of a strategic study for the European Commission (EP2010). Smart Content is designed to close the gap between the increasing ease of media creation and the requirement of personalized, context-driven content delivery and consumption.
| The concept is based on “intelligent content models” combining content and knowledge by means of domain knowledge models and offering a set of facets to access not only content and metadata, but also describing its “behavior”.
