Action: A framework for semantic annotation of events in video
Melanie Feinberg, Ryan B. Shaw · 2004
Abstract. We propose a model for semantic annotation of events, such as weddings or basketball games, as depicted in video. Our framework consists of an event taxonomy, implemented as a faceted classification, and an event partonomy, implemented using the ABC ontology proposed by Lagoze and Hunter [1]. We have expressed a proof-of-concept version of both the taxonomy and the partonomy in the Resource Description Framework (RDF) language. Our approach enables the annotation of a low-level physical action depicted in video, such as a kiss, to be linked to its higher-level event context (such as the kiss that signifies the conclusion of a Western wedding ceremony). 1.
