The UK Multimedia Knowledge Managment Network


Multimedia and Information Systems  
Enhance communication between the experts in both academia and industry

The UK Multimedia Knowledge Management Network consists of research teams from seven UK universities who work in this new interdisciplinary field. The aim of this network is to enhance communication between the experts in both academia and industry, and to maintain shared resources for the direct benefit of the research community. The network is hosted at and maintained by Imperial College London.

Project Objectives

  • promote communication through workshops and meetings, e-mail lists and web sites.

  • develop a research roadmap for multimedia knowledge management and its research applications

  • create and maintain shared resources for the direct benefit of the research community

  • assist in training and development of new and existing researchers in the field

  • promote the Network activity to potential members, beneficiaries, collaborators and users

  • develop and implement a strategy for continuation of network activity after 3 years of EPSRC funding


Relevant research topics within Multimedia Knowledege Management include, but are not limited to, multimedia analysis, indexing, storage and delivery, needs elicitation and analysis, retrieval, summarisation, presentation and personalisation, crafting appropriate access environments, capitalisation and evaluation.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
