Interconnecting machine readable data with multimedia assets and fragments has recently become a common practice. But specific retrieval techniques for the so called Semantic Multimedia data are still lacking. On our poster we present SPARQL-MM, a function set that extends SPARQL to Media Fragment facilities by introducing spatiotemporal filter and aggregation functions.

In Minnesota, incidence of invasive group B streptococcal disease was 3 times greater in older adults in long-term care facilities than in older adults in community settings (67.7/100,000 vs. 21.4/100,000) during 2003-2007. The overall case-fatality rate was 6.8%, and concurrent conditions were common among both groups.
