Preface
WearepleasedtowelcomeyoutotheproceedingsoftheThirdInternationalCon-
ferenceonSemanticandDigitalMediaTechnologiesheldinKoblenz,Germany.
The SAMT agenda brings together researchers at extreme ends of the se-
mantic multimedia spectrum. Atone end, the Semantic Web and its supporting
technologies are becoming established in both the open data environment and
within specialist domains, such as corporate intranet search,e-Science (particu-
larly life sciences),and culturalheritage.To facilitate the world-wide sharing of
media, W3C is developing standard ways of denoting fragments of audio/visual
content and of specifying and associating semantics with these. At the other
end of the spectrum, media analysis tools continue to grow in sophistication,
identifying features thatcanthen be associatedwith explicit semantics,be they
expressed formally or informally, using proprietary formats or open standards.
Recentprogressatthese two fronts ofthe SAMT spectrum means that research
spanningthesemanticgapisnowofvitalimportancetofeedtherealapplications
that are emerging.
This conference also represents a step towards bridging the gap between the
researchcultures and their respective approachesat both ends of the spectrum.
The papers selected show that SAMT is able to attract researchers from media
analysis, who see the benefits that more explicit semantics can provide, as well
as researchersfrom knowledge engineering who realize that, while a picture can
beexpressedasathousandconcepts,amillionmorearewaitingtobeextracted.
In order to attract high-quality papers at future conferences it is important
thatSAMT be recognizedasthe leadingconferenceonsemanticmultimedia.To
achieve this goal, this year’s conference brought together the very best of the
work in the area. Of the 52 full papers submitted to the conference, 12 were
selected for inclusion in these proceedings.
Apart from the accepted full papers, the SAMT program was enriched by
34 poster presentations, selected from 46 submissions, a special demo session
with 4 project demos, 2 keynote talks by Jane Hunter and Mor Namaan, as
well as 2 invited talks given by EC representatives, Albert Gauthier and Luis
Rodr´ıguez-Rosell´o.Moreover,three interesting workshops were offered, namely:
– International Workshop on Interacting with Multimedia Content in the So-
cial Semantic Web
– Cross-Media Information Analysis, Extraction and Management
– Semantic 3D Media
In addition, there were three tutorials, namely:
– A Semantic Multimedia Web
– Ontologies and the Semantics of Visualization
– Creating Semantically Rich Virtual Reality Applications
VI Preface
We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who contributed to
the technical and organizational success of the SAMT 2008 conference. Special
thanks go to the Poster and Demo Chairs, Michela Spagnuolo and Siegfried
Handschuh, the Workshop and Tutorial Chairs, Fabio Ciravegna and David
Duce,thePublicityChair,MarcinGrzegorzek,andtheRegistrationChair,Ruth
Go¨tten, who alldid a greatjob inthe preparationphase for this event.Further-
more,wewouldliketothanktheProgramCommitteemembersforasmoothre-

aregratefulforthe generouscontributionof oursponsors,namely,the consortia
of the K-Space and WeKnowIt projects, the University of Koblenz-Landau, as
well as the Ministry of Education, Science, Youth, and Culture of the German
federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
This year’s conference provided a high-quality archival publication and a
variedandinterestingprogram,designedtostimulateinteractionamongpartici-
pants.Forfutureconferencesthechallengewillbetoencouragemoreresearchers
to contribute to the field, for example, researchers from 2&3D graphics, sensor
technology, and further application domains.
