B. Ghaznavi-Ghoushchi Department of Computer engineering Dept. of EE. School of Engineering University of Tehran, International Campus Shahed University Kish Island, Iran Tehran, Iran [email protected] ghaznavi AT shahed.ac.ir Abstract— Semantic video Annotation is an active research zone within the field of multimedia content understanding. With the stable increase of videos published on the famous video sharing platforms such as YouTube, more efforts are spent to automatically annotate these videos. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to annotating subtitled YouTube videos using both textual features such as all of portions extracted from web natural language processors in relation to subtitles, and temporal features such as the duration of the media fragments where particular entities are spotted. We implement SY-VSE (Subtitled YouTube Video Search Engine) as an efficient framework to cruising on the subtitled YouTube videos resident in the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud. For realizing this purpose, we propose Unifier Module of Natural Language Processing (NLP) Tools Results (UM-NLPTR) for extracting main portions of the 10 NLP web tools from subtitles associated to YouTube videos in order to generate media fragments annotated with Figure 1. Structure of subtitled Youtube keyword-based search. resources from the LOD cloud. Then, we propose Unifier Module of Popular API’s Results (UM-PAR) containing the shortcomings caused by e.g. homonyms (see Figure 1). seven favorite web APIs to boost results of Named Entities Optimal results are possible through the analysis of the (NE) obtained from UM-NLPTR. We will use dotNetRDF as available textual metadata with NLP web tools and popular a powerful and flexible API for working with Resource web APIs, especially given the availability of subtitles on Description Framework (RDF) and SPARQL in .Net YouTube videos. environments.

These both kinds include YouTube subtitled Video Metadata (e.g. title, description, rating, publish In this paper, we propose UM-NLPTR for extracting information, thumbnail view, category and etc.) and its NEs and other main portions of 10 NLP web tools from attached transcripts.

At present video search engines use the title, description, and thumbnail of the video for identifying the right one. In this paper, a novel video searching methodology is proposed using the Video indexing method. Video indexing is a technique of preparing an index, based on the content of video for the easy access of frames of interest. Videos are stored along with an index which is created out of video indexing technique. The video searching methodology check the content of index attached with each video to ensure that video is matching with the searching keyword and its relevance ensured, based on the word count of searching keyword in video index. The video searching methodology check the content of index attached with each video to ensure that video is matching with the searching keyword and its relevance ensured, based on the word count of searching keyword in video index.

Prajapati Department of Information Technology, Shri S’ad Vidya Mandal Institute of Technology, Bharuch, Gujarat, India Abstract— Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting online visibility of a website or web page. This is important to improve rank of search result for website and get more page views, which are requested by user and these users can be converted into customers. A Search Engine Optimization may target on different search engines like image, video, academic, news, industry etc. and using these engine ranks they provide better and optimized result for user. These ranks help them to view popular page among the number of page available in the (non-paid) search result. Also, SEO is to help website managers to improve traffic of website, to making site friendly, to building link, and marketing unique value of site. SEO classified in two categories as either white hat SEO or black hat SEO. White hats tend to produce results that last a long time, whereas black hats anticipate that their sites may eventually be banned either temporarily or permanently. SEO is used to improve their frames and create more economic effectiveness and social effectiveness and also they can focus on national and international searcher(s).

  • On Organisational Involvement and Collaboration in W3C Standards Through Editorship Jonas Gamalielsson* and Björn Lundell
    Gamalielsson and Lundell Journal of Internet Services Journal of Internet Services and Applications (2017) 8:5 DOI 10.1186/s13174-017-0056-1 and Applications RESEARCH Open Access On organisational involvement and collaboration in W3C standards through editorship Jonas Gamalielsson* and Björn Lundell Abstract Over time, a number of open standards have been developed and implemented in software for addressing a number of challenges, such as lock-in, interoperability and longevity of software systems and associated digital artefacts. An understanding of organisational involvement and collaboration in standardisation is important for informing any future policy and organisational decisions concerning involvement in standardisation. The overarching goal of the study is to establish how organisations contribute to open standards development through editorship. Specifically, the focus is on open standards development in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Through an analysis of editorship for all W3C recommendations we contribute novel findings concerning organisational involvement and collaboration, and highlight contributions from different types of organisations and countries. We make five principal contributions. First, we establish an overall characterisation of organisational involvement in W3C standardisation. Second, we report on organisational involvement in W3C standardisation over time. Third, we establish how different organisations, organisation types, and countries are involved in W3C technologies. Fourth, we report on organisational

    Article The VIDI-Video semantic video search engine Marco Bertini, Università di Firenze, Italy, Marco Rendina, Fondazione Rinascimento Digitale, Italy128 Introduction Video is becoming vital to society and economy. It plays a key role in information distribution and access, and it is also becoming the natural form of communication on the Internet and via mobile devices. The massive increase in digital audiovisual information will pose high demands on advanced storage and retrieval engines, and it is certain that consumers and professionals will need advanced storage and search technologies for the management of large-scale video assets. Current search engines, however, mostly rely on keyword-based access that uses manually annotated metadata, and do not allow for content-based search of images or videos. At present, even state-of-the-art video search engines are able to annotate automatically only a limited set of semantic concepts, and retrieval is usually allowed using only a keyword-based approach based on a lexicon. The VIDI-Video project, funded in the 6th Framework Program by the EU, has taken on the challenge of creating substantially enhanced semantic access to video. The project has aimed to integrate and develop state-of-the-art components from many technologies — such as machine learning, audio event detection, video processing, visual feature processing, knowledge modeling and management, interaction and visualization — into a fully implemented audiovisual search engine, combining large numbers of audiovisual concepts and
