2. First release
September 2002, Focusing on content based retrieval systems
Motivations, Applications and Needs

The aim of schema is to bring together institutions interested in the SCHEMA research areas and allow them to exchange any kind of information and as a results this will enrich the capabilities of each partner with the complimentary skills of the other partners and strengthen the European expertise overall. The aim is to expand the Network as soon as possible in order SCHEMA to be a European Forum in Semantic Scene Analysis and Information retrieval. Of course SCHEMA will be strongly involved in dissemination activities.

3. Second release
May 2003, Extended version including analysis techniques for CBIR
Audio-based and Audio-assisted Semantic Content Analysis
Content Characterization of Sports Programs
Content-Based Indexing and Retrieval Systems
Other commercial content-based image retrieval systems
