| Abstract | How might we benefit from the billions of tagged multimedia files (e.g. image, video, audio) available on the Internet? This paper presents a new concept called Web 2.0 Dictionary, a dynamic dictionary that takes advantage of, and is in fact built from, the huge database of tags available on the Web. The Web 2.0 Dictionary distinguishes itself from the traditional dictionary in six main ways: (1) it is fully automatic because it downloads tags from the Web and inserts this new information into the dictionary; (2) it is dynamic because each time a new shared image/video is uploaded, a "bag-of-tags" corresponding to the image/video will be downloaded, thus updating Web 2.0 Dictionary. The Web 2.0 Dictionary is literally updating every second, which is not true of the traditional dictionary; (3) it integrates all kinds of languages (e.g. English, Chinese), as long as the images/videos are tagged with words from such languages; (4) it is built by distilling a small amount of useful information from a massive and noisy tag database maintained by the entire Internet community, therefore the relatively small amount of noise present in the database will not affect it; (5) it truly reflects the most prevalent and relevant explanations in the world, unaffected by majoritarian views and political leanings. It is a real, free dictionary. Unlike Wikipedia" [5] which can be easily revised by even a single person, the Web 2.0 Dictionary is very stable because its contents are informed by a whole community of users that upload photo/videos; (6) it provides a correlation value between every two words ranging from 0 to 1. The correlation values stored in the dictionary have wide applications. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the Web 2.0 Dictionary for image/video understanding and retrieval, object categorization, tagging recommendation, etc, in this paper. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
