A flexible environment for multimedia management and publishing

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the IM3I system, which provides a flexible approach to managing and publishing collections of images and videos. The system is based on web services that allow automatic and manual annotation, retrieval, browsing and authoring of multimedia. Results of user evaluations, performed by professional archivists and archive managers on a real-world system deployment have confirmed that the system is easy to be used and delivers a complete set of functionalities.
