This platform will provide end clients with different services where relevant metadata and Web content can be dynamically found, packaged and delivered in order to augment client applications. The retrieval and packaging of metadata and content will be based on semantic technology and rules. A focus will be made on using available Linked Data endpoints and Web-based media annotations.
