• Introduction of the Autonomous Content Entity (ACE) concept combining content, metadata, intelligence in a single entity
• Knowledge and context-assisted content analysis techniques based on a multimedia ontology infrastructure to support semantic entity detection and tracking of ACE content
• High-level semantic reasoning tools for automatic annotation and generation of the ACE metadata layer
• Query analysis tools and intelligent ACE search, retrieval, ranking and relevance feedback mechanisms
• Intelligent mechanisms to manage ACE communication, and methods to produce aesthetically appealing content and enhanced visualisation for navigation and rendering
• User interfaces and adaptivity support for aceMedia target application
