Harmony is a partnership between the Institute, Cornell University and the Australian Distributed Systems Technology Centre (DSTC). The goal is to devise a metadata framework for describing networked collections of highly complex and mixed-media digital objects.
The work draws together work on the RDF, XML, Dublin Core and MPEG-7 standards, and has recently focussed on the problem of allowing multiple communities of expertise (e.g., library, education, rights management) to define overlapping descriptive vocabularies for annotating multimedia content.
