1. Digital Image Annotation Tool

2. INTRODUCTION Incorporation of digital media types Unstructured digital data Portal for managing annotations and tracking provenance

3. Need Available tools focus on low-level features of images to ontological concepts Mapping of image annotation required with the domain ontology Unaddressed image metadata management and interaction Example - NASA

4. Solution Domain independent tool for managing annotations in a customizable, ontology backed manner

5. Photostuff Platform independent (Java based) Allows users to annotate image and its regions with respect to ontologies specified in RDF/OWL Compatible with multiple ontologies, spanning many domains

6. Architecture

7. Depiction

8. Interaction with Web Portal Instances RDF/XML Local images

9. Image Metadata Management Publishing markup to Semantic Web Web portal functionality extends with MINDSWAP research group and NASA Portal can manage many ontologies When an instance is selected user is presented with all images in which the instance is depicted Metadata published via image and additional sources can be integrated

10. Web Portal

11. Provenance Management Mindswap maintains and stores annotations

12. Provenance Management(contd.) Browsing data

13. Future Work Automating annotation process Region segmentation techniques Embedding HTML forms on class definitions Including additional digital media types

14. Actualization

15. Actualization(contd)

16. Related Work

17. Conclusion Domain independent framework for annotating and managing digital image Open source implementation of the framework Overview of proof -of-concept designed as an experiment in collaboration with NASA
