EWIMT 2004

The first European Workshop on the Integration of Knowledge, Semantic and Digital Media Technologies (EWIMT 2004) was held at the Royal Statistical Society, London, UK, 25 and 26 November 2004.

EWIMT 2004 was attended by over 150 delegates, from many European countries, and comprised presentations, posters, keynote speeches and panel sessions.
The main objectives of EWIMT 2004 were to enable projects and researchers working on convergence of knowledge and content technologies to share their results in an expert peer environment, and to encourage clustering and relationship formation between projects and organisations working in these areas.
The event was organised and co-sponsored by IST projects BUSMAN, aceMedia and SCHEMA, with technical co-sponsorship of the IEE, and support from the European Commission Unit INFSO E2, and FP6UK.
