The first key intuition of GLOCAL is to use events as the primary means for organizing and indexing media, e.g., photos, videos, journal articles, and email exchanges. Instead of starting from media and seeing, a posteriori, how we can meaningfully understand their contents (e.g., by tagging them), we organize a priori our knowledge in terms of events and use media to populate them with memories, thus providing their experiential dimension.The second key intuition of GLOCAL is to exploit the local and global (GLOCAL) knowledge about events and related contents to locally index media and experiences and later to globally share them within networked communities, thus lessening the impact of the semantic gap.
GLOCAL is an IP Project co-funded under the seventh framework program of the European Commission coordinated by Università degli Studi di Trento, andgathering 10 partners from 5 diffferent countries.
