Project description
Search Engines
PHAROS lighting the way to multimedia search
The PHAROS project will build a next generation audiovisual search platform, to be designed, developed and applied jointly by a consortium of 13 high-profile academic and industrial players, including 3 SMEs from 9 different European countries with proven track records in innovation and commercial success.The PHAROS mission is to move business scenarios in the audiovisual domain from a point-solution search engine paradigm to an integral search platform paradigm taking future user and search requirements as key design principles. A platform allows modular application development, enables knowledge sharing and technology integration, code and skill reuse. Requirements will be developed through collaboration with European and national initiatives, as well as large and sophisticated actors in the media and telco sectors, ensuring future sustainability, industrial relevance and worldwide application reach. PHAROS will advance the state of the art in the audiovisual domain, including novel content-publishing mechanisms, automated semantic annotation, advanced query brokering integrating schema-agnostic and content-based search, context-awareness and personalization, innovative user interfaces, content protection and spam detection. The sum of these advances is a large step towards moving information access from the hands of the producers to the hands of the consumers, allowing them to enjoy audiovisual resources in a mobile and pervasive manner, across the great online space.PHAROS is organised into 5 ¿Streams¿ of work. Research and technological development is carried out in Core Technologies (Stream 1) and User and Context Technologies (Stream 2). Results will be integrated in the PHAROS Platform (Stream 3) which provides the foundation on which the Showcases (Stream 4) are built. Management and Impact (Stream 5) measures progress, ensures the trackability and smooth running of the project, and oversees its impact in the outside scientific and business world.
