Weblog-style video annotation and syndication

In this paper, we present a method to extend the mechanisms employed for Weblogs in order to make video contents accessible to Weblog communities. We also present a mechanism that generates Weblog entries from the browsing history of the video contents. These entries help Weblog users to reach the related video contents. By extracting knowledge on the video contents from communication among members of Weblog communities and syndicating the knowledge in the form of RDF, we can use the mechanism for annotation-based applications, such as a semantic video retrieval and summarization system.
