The Intelligence, Agents, Multimedia Research Group at the University of Southampton is a major research group of 100 people with an international reputation in digital libraries, open archiving, hypermedia, multimedia, knowledge management and Web Grid research. is a member of W3C and in 1997 hosted the ACM Hypertext conference. In the field of Digital Libraries, work on citation extraction and analysis digital libraries has been undertaken as part of the Open Citation (OpCit) project under the JISC/NSF International Digital Libraries programme. Also resulting from this work has been the internationally adopted EPrints software used for establishing research archives. In Knowledge Management, the group acts as the lead site in a six-year, multi-million pound interdisciplinary research collaboration of five UK universities, funded by the EPSRC, investigating the application of advanced knowledge technologies in the lifecycle of distributed information resources. under the UK national e-Science initiative, the group participates in several national testbeds (Combechem, MyGrid) aimed at emerging grid technologies in collaboration with industry and commerce and is pioneering the adoption of Semantic and Knowledge technologies within this context - the so-called Semantic Grid.
