Semantic aspects of visual information are mainly described in full text attributes or mapped onto specialized, application specific description schemes. Result lists of queries are commonly represented by textual descriptions and single key frames. This approach is valid for

SALERO will build on and extend research in media technologies, web semantics and context based image retrieval, to reverse the trend toward ever-increasing cost of creating media.

In this work we analyse the current, manual workflow of creating character animations. We derive requirements for an automated process, and propose to utilise linked open datasets for context manage- ment, along with ontologies to assemble and reuse character animations. First experiences with the prototypical implementation of the context manager

The main features of the MPEG standards series and of related standards, formats and protocols are presented. It is discussed, how they, despite their partially early and immature stage, can best be utilized to yield effective results in the context of a knowledge management environment. Complementary to that, the current status and state of the art in content-based retrieval for images, video and audio content is briefly presented. In the context of the KNOW-Center we are developing a prototype platform to implement a user friendly and highly informative access to audiovisual content as a potential component for a future knowledge management system. The technical requirements and the system architecture for the prototype platform are described.

In today's camera surveillance solutions video streams are displayed on-screen for human operators, eg in large multi-screen control centers. This in turn requires the attention of operators for unusual events and urgent response.
