Abstract. We present an event-based approach for users to explore, annotate and share media. We are constructing a web-based environment that allows users to explore and select events, including discovering meaningful, surprising or entertaining connections among them. We build a knowledge base of events from event directories that will be linked to the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud, in conjunction with an event and a media ontologies. The approach is user-driven and, having carried out initial user inquiries, we are designing interfaces that support user-identified tasks while exploring the connections between users, multimedia content and events. 1
