The development of the system implies addressing a number of significant research challenges in a multidisciplinary context. This report describes the state of the art in the relevant areas of research, thus specifying the scientific and technology baseline from which the consortium partners start. It has been released in three instalments (D1.1.1; D1.1.2, and the current document D1.1.3). We originally identified six main areas: existing technology for cultural heritage; search engines; information extraction and classification; multilingual/multimedia indexing; multilingual/multimedia retrieval; user interaction and interface design. Each area was first reviewed in a separate chapter in D1.1.1, released in December 2006. A substantial update describing Image Collections and Browsing was added as a separate report in December 2007 (D1.2). In this final version, we provide significant updates to the original documents and in addition each chapter terminates with a section which relates the general sate-of-the-art in that area to what has been done in MultiMatch. Our aim has been to provide a complete panorama of the actual state-of-the-art in the areas of interest to MultiMatch, covering as far as possible all relevant aspects.
