The FMSH scenario use different existing ontologies :

•A domain ontology dedicated to video analysiso Thesaurus of ~6000 terms : localizations, individuals, RWOs, concepts,

scientific disciplines, pedagogical genres, audio-visual genres, textual structure of a video, etc.

Used for Video Creation & Subscription, and Analysis Subscription

•5 User Ontologies dedicated to specific domainso Andean Cultural Heritage, Cultural Diversity, French & World

Literature, Social & Human Sciences, Latin America. Topics of each domain used for Analysis Subscription

This application is a good demonstration of how CONVERGENCE technology can use external ontologies
