Report: The Results of the MMC-Workshop in Aachen

Unfortunately the Multimedia Metadata Community Workshop is over, but I’m looking forward to the next one. This time a Best Paper Award was announced and it was given to the paper “A formal framework for multimedia adaptation revisited: a metadata perspective” of Cezar Plesca, Vincent Charvillat & Romulus Grigoras from IRIT-ENSEEIHT (France). The picture shows  while his presentation. The research as well as the paper are really good work and absolutely worth reading.

In the open community discussion, which was about social software and privacy, a lot of different approaches and opinions were discussed. As always Ralf Klamma surprised us with his “broader than the average view” and contributed general aspects and the history of the concept of privacy. Michael Granitzer from the Know-Center pointed out the possibility of cross site data mining, which could reveal more about users than they might imagine.
