FP6 - 4th Call: Semantic based Knowledge and Content Systems 11-Dec-2004

FP6 programme In the latest round of funding of the EU's Sixth Framework programme's (FP6) IST initiative, the European Commission has launched a call for proposals titled Semantic based Knowledge and Content Systems, under its Strategic Objective 2.4.7.

The Semantic-based Knowledge and Content Systems theme is aimed at the intersection of WWW, Multimedia, Semantic Web and Web Services domains. Its objective is to develop semantic-based and context-aware systems for acquiring, organising, sharing and using the knowledge embedded in web and multimedia content which are driven or supported by ICT systems. The deadline for the call is 22 March 2005. More information from the Cordis site soon.
