Preface

This textbook is intended for use by researchers and practitioners in the field of computer science and more specifically in knowledge representation and management, ontology evolution and information extraction from multimedia data. The reader is presumed to have a basic knowledge of knowledge representation with ontologies. Being authored by acknowledged researchers who participated in the ECsupported project BOEMIE (Bootstrapping Ontology Evolution with Multimedia Information Extraction), the book aims to cover the state of the art in the corresponding fields, while also promoting the synergy between ontology evolution and information extraction from multimedia. BOEMIE has shown that this synergy reveals a new area of research that is of great untapped potential. The book may also constitute
