The aim of the MAGMA project is to develop a proof-of-concept technical system that automatically generates and assigns relevant meta-data to a collection of photographic images, illustrations and scripted documents.In order to achieve its goal, the MAGMA project will investigate possible technologies that may be used to generate meta-data, as well as developing an understanding of the market potential for such tools and services.The technology partner will conduct research into the following technical activities:Automated meta-data creation- OCR (optical character recognition)- Image and object recognitionUser-centric meta-data creation- Crowd sourced tagging through a web browser interfaceAutomated moderation- Dictionaries- Common databasesSimultaneously, the marketing partner will undertake market research into the viability of products and services in support of those being developed in the proof of concept. Additionally, the marketing partner will undertake audience engagement activities; conduct competitor analysis and investigate the business potential for partnership arrangements an d licensing models.The technical development of the prototype system will be split into 3 stages;Stage 1- Experiment with the automated tools to determine what can be achieved- Build a solution using a selection of the best of these tools that allows the processing and automated generation of meta-data for a collection of digital images and documents.Stage 2- Build a public facing interface that offers images and documents to the users and to collect meta-data from the users in the form of keyword tags.- The interface may take the form of a simple game in order to help engagement with the public.- The interface may also strengthen the meta-data generated from the automated tools in stage 1.Stage 3- To examine the meta-data results achieved by stages 1 and 2- To consider the success and value of previous stages in terms of a unified automated system for generating meta-data.

MAGMA项目的目标是开发一个概念验证技术系统，自动生成相关元数据并将其分配给一组摄影图像、插图和脚本文件。为了实现这一目标，MAGMA项目将研究可用于生成元数据的可能技术，以及了解这些工具和服务的市场潜力。技术合作伙伴将对以下技术活动进行研究：自动化元数据创建- OCR（光学字符识别）-图像和对象识别-以用户为中心的元数据创建-通过Web浏览器界面进行众包标记自动调节-字典-公共数据库同时，营销伙伴将对产品和服务的可行性进行市场研究，以支持在概念验证中开发的产品和服务。此外，营销合作伙伴将开展受众参与活动;进行竞争对手分析，并调查合作伙伴关系安排和许可模式的业务潜力。原型系统的技术开发将分为3个阶段;阶段1-使用自动化工具进行试验，以确定可以实现的目标-使用这些工具中的最佳工具构建解决方案，允许处理和自动生成数字图像和文档集合的元数据。阶段2-建立一个面向公众的界面，为用户提供图像和文档，并以关键字标签的形式从用户那里收集元数据。界面可能采取简单游戏的形式，以帮助与公众互动。-该接口还可以加强从阶段1中的自动化工具生成的元数据。阶段3-检查由阶段1和2实现的元数据结果-考虑先前阶段在用于生成元数据的统一自动化系统方面的成功和价值。
