I-SEARCH aims to provide a novel multimedia search framework able to handle specific types of multimedia and multimodal content (text, 2D image, sketch, video, 3D objects and audio) alongside with real world information. I-SEARCH addresses a wide range of users (either professional or end-users) as well as a variety of application scenarios. Towards this direction, the following use cases have been designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the I-SEARCH platform. A short description of each use case is given below. For a better understanding of the use case, a mockup is attached, where available.

The second issue of the I-SEARCH biannual electronic Newsletter is now available for download.

The Newsletter is an instrument for regular exchange of information among the I-SEARCH members and the research community at large. The main objectives of the Newsletter are to report the main activities promoted and undertaken within the I-SEARCH project; To provide links between both European and International initiatives in the field, and; To widely disseminate information about published papers (position papers, state of the art reviews) of researchers involved in the project.

The second Issue of the Newsletter presents the project achievements during the first year of the I-SEARCH project. More specifically, the I-SEARCH Use Cases and the System Architecture are presented. Then, a brief description of the proposed RUCoD format for description of rich media objects is given. Finally, a list of the project’s publications is also available.

Collecting user requirements is crucial in order to determine the main components of the I-SEARCH framework and design the I-SEARCH architecture. Towards this goal, two questionnaires are available online, addressing the following two scenarios of the I-SEARCH project:

• Scenario 1: Search for music content
• Scenario 3: Search and retrieval of 3D game models

A brief description of the I-SEARCH functionality is available here.
