THESEUS/ImageCLEF Pre-Workshop. Proceedings

The THESEUS/ImageCLEF workshop follows the tradition of preceeding QUAERO and MUSCLE Workshops between 2005 and 2008. The aim of this workshop is to discuss the results of the ImageCLEF initiative, provide feedback to both participants and organizers and to figure out new challenging image retrieval and analysis tasks for future evaluations. Of further interest are topics related to visual information retrieval, databases and annotation processes. Additionally, a special focus is set on information retrieval supported by structured knowledge e.g. by using ontologies.
