Abstract
The article discusses ways to let semantics emerge from simple observations from the bottom-up, rather than imposing concepts on the observations top-down, to provide precise query, retrieval, communication or translation for a wide variety of applications. The following areas are examined: image retrieval and databases; media information spaces including the Semantic Web and MPEG frameworks; language games for emergent semantics; and emergent semantics for ontologies.

It is argued that images don't have an intrinsic meaning, but that they are endowed with a meaning by placing them in the context of other images and by the user interaction.
