FeatureDescription
AI Augmented AnnotationThe image annotation and publishing tools in ImageSnippets are augmented by AI techniques to speed up the annotation process while allowing users to maintain control over context and precision. Linked data connects to precise entities from sources like Wikidata and DBpedia.
Linked Data Annotation SystemImageSnippets is a Linked Data Annotation System that allows users to add 5-star linked open data descriptions to images. It supports the use of industry-standard rich linked open data (LOD), embedded metadata, and alt-text descriptions for accessibility. The system preserves schema.org, JSON-LD, and RDFa with images.
Preserving Copyright InformationImageSnippets preserves copyright information by embedding it in the image file, making it difficult to strip when sharing and publishing. This ensures that copyright intentions are clearly visible and easily read by machines and search engines.
Semantic Search TechnologyImageSnippets uses semantic search technology to rapidly and reliably find images based on descriptions. The key technology is the RDF graph, which allows for efficient searching and processing by software. This includes ownership, copyright information, provenance, and standard camera-generated metadata.
Triple Tagging TechniquesImageSnippets employs triple tagging techniques to create multi-modal representations of domain knowledge interwoven with images. This flexibility allows for a variety of graphing tasks, making it easier to manage and retrieve images based on linked data.
