Document Metadata

Semantic metadata, in particular semantic annotations for multimedia documents, are at the core of the applications we are working on for several years. In our current project ANR Qualinca with ABES and INA (see Section 8.1 ), the semantic metadata considered consists of information present in bibliographic databases and authority notices (which respectively describe documents and so-called authorities, such as authors typically). The challenge is not to build these metadata, which have been built by human specialists and already exist, but to check their validity, to link or to merge different metadata bases.
