Today's multimedia content formats primarily encode the presentation of content but not the information the content conveys. However, this presentation-oriented modeling only permits the inflexible, hard-wired presentation of multimedia content. For the realization of advanced operations, the multimedia content has to be enriched by additional semantic information. To provide a basis for the semantic modeling of multimedia content in content sharing and collaborative applications, Enhanced Multimedia Meta Objects (EMMOs) and the query algebra EMMA were developed. Both provide a sound basis for the integration of ontological knowledge. The author demonstrates how ontological knowledge can be used within the authoring process of EMMOs, can be integrated within EMMO knowledge structures, and can be exploited for refining EMMA queries. The book is intended for researchers and developers in the domain of knowledge management, semantic modeling & querying, and multimedia meta modeling. It includes an overview of multimedia meta modeling, introduces the EMMO model and EMMA algebra, and discusses the ontology-enhanced management of multimedia content within different application scenarios.

Gutes Innovationsmanagement lässt sich weder auf diszipliniertes Projektmanagement noch auf die „geniale Idee„ reduzieren. Nach aktuellen Erkenntnissen der Organisations- und Evolutionstheorie ist Innovation vielmehr ein stetiger Prozess des Wandels . In dem Leitfaden geht es nicht nur um die klassischen Tools des Innovationsmanagements, sondern vor allem um ein schlüssiges Vorgehensmodell für die Praxis: die von den Autoren entwickelte “Innovationshelix" . Das Modell bietet wirksame Werkzeug e, mit denen die Innovationskraft von Organisationen gesteigert und nachhaltig verankert werden kann.
