Abstract:
In this paper, we introduce interlinking multimedia (iM), a pragmatic way to apply the linked data principles to fragments of multimedia items. We report on use cases showing the need for retrieving and describing multimedia fragments. We then introduce the principles for interlinking multimedia in the Web of Data, discussing potential solutions which sometimes highlight controversial debates regarding what the various representations of a Web resource span. We finally present methods for enabling a widespread use of interlinking multimedia.
