Aggregation and personalization of infotainment : an architecture illustrated with a collaborative scenario

A user-centric architecture of infotainment content adaptation to the context is presented. The architecture uses component technologies in term of business logic and functionalities offered by social web (OpenID, FOAF) and semantic descriptions of MPEG-7 and MPEG-21. Technological alternatives are discussed and adapted to the specificity of vehicle applications in terms of scalability and platform mobility. The requirements of the architecture are motivated by the presentation of a scenario. -- MPEG-7 ; MPEG-21 ; FOAF ; OpenID ; content-based multimedia retrieval ; hypermedia systems ; Web-based services ; XML ; Semantic Web ; vehicle
