Goal, video description and capability ontologies for Fish4Knowledge domain

Abstract

We created a set of domain ontologies that are based on user requirements for the Fish4Knowledge (F4K) project - goal, video description and capability. The roles of the ontologies are to 1) support the development of appropriate functions of the project's workflow system, and 2) serve as a communication media to interface with other F4K components. The ontologies were designed with collaboration with image processing experts, marine biologists and user interface experts to capture the domain knowledge succinctly. They were utilised in the first version of our workflow composition and execution system for video classification, fish detection and counting tasks. They will continue to evolve with F4K's needs and are envisaged to interface with other components. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
