OpenMKS
Searching and navigating multimedia collections.
See also:
| OpenMKS is a tool for searching and navigating multimedia collections of images, video, 3D models and textual descriptions.
OpenMKS allows you to semantically integrate content from various sources and then expose the result using standards so it can be explored by users through their web browsers or by other software applications over the Web. Our guiding principle is that you shouldn't need to restructure or re-catalogue all your multimedia collections when you want to combine them into one source of information or make them accessible for other people to use in new ways. Instead, we use semantic mapping techniques to relate different legacy data structures and descriptions to common standards such as the CIDOC CRM (see below for more about this). It's this approach to semantic mapping and integration that allows new paths and links to be created through diverse collections of multimedia content, which in turn allows content users to ask all those questions that are hard to answer using conventional content management or search and retrieval systems. |
This looks like interesting software from a good team, but unfortunately there hasn't been a release for almost a year.
We have since spoken to some of the team, and learn that the software is web service based, and does not use semantic web data formats, so it is not really suitable as a tool for our use. We have been able to test and refine some of our ideas for data aggragation in discussion with the OpenMKS developers.
