<h1>MMSem Goals</h1>
<ul>
  <li>Use SW technologies to make existing multimedia metadata standards interoperable:
    <ul>
	<li>Leverage and combine existing formats</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Show the added value of the SW formal semantics:
    <ul>
	<li>Practical applications and services that provide extra functionality by using, for example, subsumption reasoning or rule-based approaches</li>	<li>Multi-platform applications, adapted to any device that accesses the web</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Provide best practices for annotating and using multimedia content on the Web:
    <ul>
	<li>Practical use cases that identify the users, the type of content and the type of metadata that they want to provide</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>
