Abstract. As the volume of digital images available on the Web continues to increase, there is a clear need for more advanced techniques for their effective retrieval and management. In this paper, we present a domain independent framework for both annotating and managing images on the Semantic Web. We introduce a tool that facilitates creating and publishing OWL annotations of image content to the Semantic Web. This is loosely coupled with a Semantic Web portal with provenance tracking. We illustrate the effectiveness of this system with an implementation of the approach and describe a hypothetical use case that resulted in a proof-of-concept designed in collaboration with NASA.

The Semantic Web is not a single technology, but rather a collection of technologies designed to work together. As a result, research on the Semantic Web intends both to advance individual technologies as well as to integrate them and take advantage of the result. In this paper we present new work on many layers of the Semantic Web, including content generation, web services, e-connections, and trust.
