Specific Dissemination Objectives. In order to achieve the strategic aims outlined in the previous paragraph, the Government 3.0 consortium has set concrete and verifiable objectives related to the dissemination and communication activities. All of the planned activities will be The European Commission support for the production of this project does not constitute an endorsement of the contents which reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein undertaken with a view on reaching dissemination targets. The focus on the planned activities will vary based on the results of the project (e.g. it is planned that the consortium will focus on the unique visitors after the first year of the project when it is expected that the results will cause awareness). The targets for various actions are outlined in Table 6, which shows a high-level representation of the dissemination goals relative to the project timing and development progress.

Specific Dissemination Objectives. Dissemination will be achieved by the usual mechanisms of research papers but also by issuing training material and tutorials on key topics. So, as well as research papers, each project partner will make available tutorial material so as to allow others to have ready access to developments in knowledge extraction, management, modelling, sharing and use. These contributions will be combined into coherent courses targeting chosen topics and offered at different locations in Europe. The XxX will use this material to prepare a joint distance learning course that will be linked into Masters courses at many of the contributing universities when the project is finished. A thematic book will be published at the end of the funding period. A specific objective is to influence and contribute to related knowledge-based multimedia standardisation activities. Several dissemination forums, standardization bodies, international conferences and exhibitions have been identified and are targeted as part of the dissemination activities of the network. The International Conference on Semantic and Digital Media Technologies (SAMT) is the main yearly event of the Network. It will serve as forum to disseminate scientific results to the broad research community and to xxxxxx links with other projects in the area. SAMT will be held at the end of each year in different locations according to the results of yearly open call for proposals to host the workshop. SAMT 2006 will be the first conference directly sponsored by K-Space and it is regarded as a follow up of the two previously organized EWIMT workshops in London 2004 and 2005. Other relevant events targeted by K-Space include but are not limited to: ACM Multimedia, XML Europe, WIAMIS, International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), International Workshop on Content based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI), European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) and the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI).
