[TagCommons-WG] Async ESP game - collaborative photo tagging for JeromeDL

[Sebastian Kruk]

Dear Tom, fellow group members,

Together with my group we work on a modified version of the ESP game  
for JeromeDL, were users'  tagging would be annealed over the time  
before it  becomes "visible" (since in the low-interest community  
like DLs it might be hard to get a critical mass of users "to play"  
the classical ESP game).

During his analysis, Maciej, who works on this module, suggested that  
we could actually support users in tagging by recognizing and  
suggesting types of tags identifying different features of the photo,  
such as "agent", "action", "object", "setting"=place (I would add  
"time" to this list).

We are going to use tagcommons ontology for tagging and our java API  
(tagging-api in tagstreemaps project on sf.net) to capture the  
tagging process. I have identified, however, two issues we will need  
to address by extending the generic tagging ontology:
   * support for regions-of-interest - so that we can tag a part of  
an object, but the tagging can be inferred on the whole object
   * support for types of tagging identified by Maciej

Do you maybe know of any similar activities, ontologies, etc that we  
could refer to; we do not want to reinvent the wheel but rather re- 
use existing solutions.

Thanks,

Sebastian
