Some days ago above mentioned special issue was put online. As the JUKM is an open access journal, everyone can view and download the published articles. Within the peer reviewed issue the results of the Multimedia Metadata Community workshop series in 2005 are presented:

• Analysis of the Data Quality of Audio Descriptions of Environmental Sounds, Dalibor Mitrovic, Matthias Zeppelzauer and Horst Eidenberger from the Vienna University of Technology, Austria
• MPEG-7 meets Multimedia Database Systems, Mario Döller from the University Passau, Germany
• A Description Infrastructure for Audiovisual Media Processing Systems Based on MPEG-7, Peter Schallauer, Werner Bailer and Georg Thallinger from Joanneum Research in Graz, Austria
• Community Hosting with MPEG-7 Compliant Multimedia Support, Ralf Klamma, Marc Spaniol and Yiwei Cao from the RWTH Aachen, Germany
• Semantic Applications on MPEG-7 Descriptions of Multi-modal Meeting Corpora: First Results, Victor Manuel García-Barrios and Christian Gütl from the Graz University of Technology, Austria
• On the Complexity of Annotation with the High Level Metadata, Mathias Lux from the Klagenfurt University in Austria and Michael Granitzer and Werner Klieber from the Know-Center Graz, Austria

The last article shows the results of an user evaluation of Caliph, which yielded quite interesting results. The user questionaire showed that users could imagine usage semantic descriptions in a professional environment, but not for personal use due to the complexity of annotation.
